Where this comes from

Not a sample we wrote for this page. This is the document the product puts in your account, as a draft, the moment you say what you do.

Name your trade during setupfishing charters and guidesand this is waiting for you, already written, in your words, with the blanks marked and the points a lawyer settles flagged for one. Edit it, or paste in what you already use. It is a starting point and not legal advice: the wording is yours to change and your attorney's to check.

How this works for fishing charters and guides

What it asks you to fill in

Read off the document itself, so this list cannot drift away from what the document actually asks for.

guardian name · guest name · date of birth · date · vessel name · business name · responsible adult · health notes · guardian phone

9 blanks. They are filled once per send, from what you already know or from your own system through the API. They go into the document; they do not change its wording, and what somebody signed is the version they were shown.

What a lawyer has to settle

These are the notes already written into the document, not our opinion about the law where you operate. The product refuses to send a document with one still in it, which is the point of them.

check what a guardian may and may not waive for a minor where you operate, and whether maritime law changes the answer.

SignSealer does not give legal advice and this document is not legal advice. What it does is put the questions in front of you before somebody signs, rather than after.

The document

The real text, with the blanks shown as blanks and the notes above lifted out so they are read rather than skimmed past.

Guardian Consent for a Minor Passenger

I, guardian name, am the parent or legal guardian of guest name, born date of birth, and I sign this on date for their place aboard vessel name with business name.

1. Consent. I consent to the minor going aboard and taking part in the trip, and I have read the passenger waiver. I agree to its terms on the minor's behalf to the extent the law where business name operates allows a guardian to do so.

2. Aboard and ashore. I understand that the minor is in the crew's care from boarding until the vessel is tied up and they step ashore, and not before or after that, and that I am responsible for the minor at all other times. An adult responsible for the minor aboard is responsible adult.

3. Life jackets. I understand that the minor will be required to wear a life jacket at the times the captain and the law direct, and that a minor who will not wear one may be kept ashore.

4. Health. The minor has no condition that would make the trip unsafe, other than any I have written here: health notes. This includes anything affected by motion, sun or heat.

5. Medical care. If the minor is injured and I cannot be reached, I consent to first aid and to emergency medical care, and I am responsible for its cost.

6. Contact. I can be reached on guardian phone while the vessel is out.

By signing I confirm that I am the minor's parent or legal guardian, that I have read this, and that I meant to sign it.
