What must an owner do before allowing others to operate his or her vessel?

Obtain a special permit
Sign a waiver
Make sure they know how to operate it safely
Verify the person's age

The correct answer is: Make sure they know how to operate it safely

Before allowing others to operate his or her vessel, the owner must make sure they know how to operate it safely. This is important for the safety of everyone on board and to prevent any potential accidents or damage to the vessel. Obtaining a special permit or signing a waiver may not necessarily ensure that the operator has the necessary knowledge and skills to operate the vessel safely. Verifying the person's age may also not be enough as age does not always equate to experience or competence in operating a vessel. Therefore, the most important thing is for the owner to personally ensure that the person operating the vessel has the necessary knowledge and skills to do so safely.
