OWNER agrees to furnish any reasonable, necessary maintenance materials needed to keep Vessel in good seaworthy condition and in compliance with all applicable Florida and federal laws and regulations to the extent the need for such repairs does not arise from the negligence or willful misconduct of CHARTERER, its officers, agents, employees, invitees and/or guests. Vessel shall be subject to inspection at any reasonable time by OWNER or its agent or employee provided OWNER has furnished reasonable advance notice to CHARTERER of its intent to make such inspection.

The CHARTERER also warrants the skipper and crew will be responsible for the safe navigation of the Vessel and will meet the standards and qualifications set by OWNER.
