Travel Tips for a Perfect Day at Sea

A few simple guidelines that make every trip safer, smoother, and far more enjoyable.

1

Listen to Your Briefing

Carefully follow all the information provided to you before your trip about boat handling and safety protocols. Do not hesitate to ask any questions you may have.

2

Check the Weather

Stay informed about the weather. Our staff will advise you on the best places to visit depending on conditions on the day of your rental.

3

Inspect Safety Equipment

Check rescue and firefighting equipment before you leave the dock. Wear life jackets on children and any passenger who does not know how to swim.

4

Bring a Charged Phone

Make sure you carry at least one fully charged mobile phone and a charging cable. Many of our boats are equipped with USB chargers, so charging on board is easy.

5

Keep a Safe Distance From Shore

Stay clear of bathers and shorelines. If you must approach a beach, slow to minimum speed and trim the motor up if the water is shallow.

6

Anchor Before Swimming

Before anyone dives into the water, the captain must ensure that the boat is firmly anchored and the engine is switched off. Always confirm the anchor has set.

7

Never Cross a Moving Boat's Bow

Whether swimming or in another vessel, never cross in front of a boat that is under way. Wait for it to pass and keep yourself visible to the captain.

Before You Set Sail

Run through this short checklist on the dock and you will be ready for a perfect day on the water.
