Covid 19

All our trips will be COVID-secure in compliance with the Government’s latest guidance on managing the risks. For the time being we are limiting capacity to 25 passengers, which will be kept under review. We have carried out a COVID-19 risk assessment and shared the results with our crew, who have received appropriate training. We have cleaning and hygiene procedures in place.

Please do not come to the boat if you have confirmed or suspected Covid or are feeling unwell. We suggest you wear a face covering when inside the cabin  and use the hand gel provided when boarding and after using the toilet.
