Many charter companies require a sailing resume or application in order to charter their boats, especially in areas where no formal certification is required. In this episode of the Anchors Aweigh podcast, we'll go over an example of a captain's application that I recently completed for Florida Yacht Charters. We'll also take a look at the first mate application they require as well.
