Drinks

Buggy
Buggies are no problem, please fold in when entering the boat if possible.
Wheelchair
Private tour: We can also take a wheelchair aboard but do mind that the entry of the boat is not especially catered to disabled persons and has a relatively steep step to get in the boat. Also, we have limited space on board and thus a non-folding wheelchair will have to stay in the saloon or on the back deck.
Ticket tour: Unfortunately, we cannot take a wheelchair on board as we do not have room to store it. A foldable walker can be stored. Please be aware that we have a relatively steep step to get into the boat.
Children
Children under 2 are free. As we only take 10 guests per ticket tour, we can unfortunately not give a discount for children.
Animals
We do allow animals on our boat but only on our private tours as on ticket tours this might not be desired by our other guests.
Bad weather
Our boat is covered and warm in windy and rainy conditions. We will only cancel the tour if a weather alarm is given by the local authorities. In this case we will of course inform you beforehand.
Smoking
Smoking is not allowed inside the boat but we do allow smoking on the rear-deck of the boat, separate from other passengers.
