My big thing is a safety one - if the kids clear the saloon door (on our cat) they wear a life jacket. I don't care how well they swim, I don't care what their parents think - I am the captain of the boat, I am responsible to ensure that they make it home alive. Their opinions don't matter (if there is an opinion that matters on the boat with regards to operations or safety, its mine). If they can breathe fresh air, they need to be in a lifejacket - not a swim vest, an actual pfd.
Too many people overestimate their abilities and skills - and the ocean has a nasty way of letting you know that you're wrong. I would hate to see any 6-8 year old find out the hard way - especially one I am responsible for (I speak from experience with grandchildren that age).
After that, just have a blast!
Keep Smiling!!!
