SAFETY

It goes without saying that we have all the necessary safety equipment in place in order to operate a small vessel. The operation of a small vessel is subject to several sets of legislation which govern everything from life jackets to required markings and rules to avoid collisions. Safety is our number one priority! We provide all passengers with life jackets and fleece lined flotation suits. Further, the vessel is equipped with GPS, VHF, fire extinguisher, drogue, buoy, first aid kit and boat flares. All persons operation the vessel have passed all the necessary certificates and courses required for operating a vessel with passengers. Before departure a thorough briefing of safety instruction and important information will be given. The purpose of these boating standards is to ensure that all boating is conducted in a manner that will maximise safety and provide for an enjoyable experience.
