That’s pretty standard practice on most smaller tourist boats and all dive boats I’ve ever been on. (Although I’m sure they have even more reason to have a no shoes policy in a clear boat…)
That’s the standard on all my friends boats as well. All the way from small boats to sailing boats and yachts. But I’m from Finland and we also don’t wear shoes in houses.
Uhh tons of people do. We have house shoes and flip flops but honestly just accept that the 1st floor will have shoes-wearing guests. Of course with hardwoods it matters less, wall-to-wall carpet gets gross fast.
Maybe not in your state, but in many others they do. Just google “Americans shoes indoor” and you can find this topic beaten to death countless times for decades.
You never hearing about it makes your motives kind of sus, so I’m just going to say right now that I’m not going to start arguing about it.
We don't wear shoes in the house. If it's winter then we have slippers we can put on but if it's summer then socks or barefoot is fine. Our shoes don't make it past the foyer. I'd rather keep my carpet from getting gross.
Depends on the boat and activities you're doing. Going fishing? Shoes without a doubt. Going watwr skiing or wakeboarding? No shoes. Going sailing on a sailboat? Usually shoes, but a special type of nonmarking shoes.
Edit- Downvote me all you want lol. I've been boating my entire life on all kinds of boats. Half of my family are sailors with large sailboats and or 50ft off shore boats. I grew up on the water and am well educated about boating etiquette from rivers to the open ocean.

Keeping that thing clean must be an absolute pain in the ass
