Questions & Answers

  • Safety comes first: if weather conditions do not allow safe navigation, the rental or excursion will not depart.
  • No penalty: you can reschedule free of charge or request a full refund.
  • The decision is ours: we assess wind, sea, and weather conditions using professional criteria to ensure departures only when it is truly safe.

🐶 For Boat Rental:

  • Yes, dogs are welcome, but only on boats (not on dinghies).
  • To protect the cushions, we ask you to trim your dog’s nails before departure and bring a towel to place where they will lie down.
  • Some cushions will be removed before departure to prevent damage. If you prefer to keep them on board, simply let us know and assume responsibility.
  • Remember to bring fresh water for your four-legged friend as well.

⛵ For the Boat Excursion:

  • Small and medium-sized dogs are allowed, provided they are calm and friendly.
  • You must notify us at the time of booking, so we can avoid having unfamiliar dogs on board together.

  • Fuel not included: fuel is not included in the rental price. You will receive the boat with a full tank and, upon return, pay only for the fuel actually consumed.
  • Average consumption: for the itinerary we recommend, our customers spend on average around €50 on fuel. The cost may vary depending on the route, speed, number of people on board, and sea conditions.
