This Master Liveaboards tender towing checklist supports safe towing operations for dive and expedition vessels. It guides crews through essential pre-tow steps: trim outboards, empty bilges, switch ignition off, switch on navigation lights for night towing, remove loose objects and sensitive equipment, and secure all lines. It includes verification of main towline and secondary safety line, closure of chain gates, and ensuring the work area is clear of guests. It emphasizes communication with the bridge to confirm readiness, agree cruising speed, and adjust line length and tension as needed. The checklist promotes disciplined, repeatable maritime procedures and proper sign-off by master and tender driver.
