Charter Boat Questionnaire

Charter Boat Survey Questionnaire
Thank you so much for taking the time to fill out this questionnaire.

The aim of these questions is to better understand what matters most to charter boat owners and skippers like you.

I want to make sure your voice is heard—nationally and in policy discussions that affect your work.

I'll be asking a few things about your business, how you prefer to stay in touch, what topics are most important to you, any challenges you're facing, and how I can best support you in this role.

Your input is really valuable, and it will help shape how we move forward together. I will share the results with the group.

Thanks again!
