Trips may be modified or cancelled because of weather, sea conditions or safety requirements, and the captain has the final say. If we cancel for weather or safety reasons, you can reschedule or get a full refund.

Yes, but children must be supervised by you at all times. We give a safety briefing and provide life jackets before you set off.

The captain has final authority on all operational and safety decisions, including changing the route or plan. Please listen to the crew's instructions throughout.
