I ask that no black bottom shoes go on the boat and in reality I'd like no shoes on it but I do not ask people to remove them if they have them on.

I don't either and I hate to clean my boat but, just like your car or your house, they get dirty and you have to clean it or pay someone to do it. That's the price of owning a boat. Having your friends and family aboard is the reason I have a boat. When boating becomes more of a chore than having fun, it's time to get rid of it.

Default Boat shoes

are fine. Sneakers tend to leave a streak mark and depending on the sole carry sand onto the boat and or scratch the gunwales.

I always check the passengers shoes and ask to be removed if I feel they may damage or dirty the boat. I never had lip.

Sandals or flip flops are a no no. Very unsafe in wet conditions. There is a certain brand that has a metal insert in the sole so they can be use as a bottle opener, a huge taboo!

Believe it! I had women trying to go boating in high heels. Sorry honey!

This right here.

I prefer to go barefoot, but I do not make my guests do the same.
