Before you sail

Good to know

Check-in and boarding start 60 minutes before you sail. Late guests can't be held for.

Ages

Children from 6. Under-12s wear a life jacket for the whole cruise, and under-16s sail with an adult.

Food and drink

Every boat is a licensed venue, so no outside food, drinks or cooler boxes. There's a bar on board that takes cards.

Weather

The skipper holds the boat for wind over 25 km/h, lightning within 10 km, or fog. You're moved to another sailing.

Safety

Every boat is SAMSA-certified, with a licensed skipper, a first officer and a safety briefing before you leave the jetty.

Access

The jetty and the toilets on board aren't wheelchair-friendly. Call before you book and we'll talk it through.
