only if you promise to do it in reverse

I am sure that for $20 the captain will allow you to drive the $400 million+ ship that he's responsible for. If your lucky you might get a guided bridge tour, where you will be able to see what goes on when the ship is at sea.

Why would they risk their career for you?

They are not even going to let you anywhere near the bridge.

And the captain really doesn't steer the ship anyways, that's all handled by VMS (Voyage Management System) or something similar. Except maybe near port. And usually near port, they have a pilot on board, who is something with an excellent knowledge of the area, and then usually the pilot is in charge of the ship during that time.

So the answer is no. No captain is going to let you drive the boat if you slip him a $20.

Since you are talking about a boat and $ 20.00 - if you are asking about a Fishing boat - yes, there is a possibility......
Ooops - you said cruise ship Captain...calling a cruise ship a boat will not even get you close to the Captain.

Why would he risk his good paying job for a few dollars ???

no way for security reasons


Pete
no, but he will get you close to the controls of the coast guard boat that will bring you to jail.


Crabby
Not a chance!


James P
Ha, ha, ha! Some cruise companies allow bridge visits, and you should take the chance to see what a cruise ship's bridge is like. Honestly, it's more like a computer control room nowadays! "Driving" the ship (boat??!) just means pressing a button or two and electronics do it all. The Captain might let you press a button, under close supervision - but is that worth $20?!


palmyrafan
Absolutely. And I have 3 bridges I can sell you. The Walt Whitman, The Ben Franklin and The Betsy Ross Bridges.
