- Our RIB is a fast-moving open boat, meaning there will be movement, bouncing, and possible splashing.

Passengers must be able to brace themselves effectively against the boat’s movement. Those who are frail, elderly, or very young may not be suitable to travel.

The skipper has the right to refuse boarding if they believe a passenger’s safety may be at risk. No refund will be issued in this case.

Safety instructions: All passengers must follow the skipper and crew’s instructions. Failure to comply may result in refusal of service without refund.
