Important Information
There are no age limitations to enjoy this adventure. If you are unsure how a physical condition may (or not) impact your enjoyment of experience, please contact us first and we'll sort it out to ensure that you get all the value you'd expect.
All our boats are safe and equipped with modern safety equipments. But as all boats, ours float on water and you will better enjoy your experience if you love water than if you fear it.
Sea sickness happens, even to old salts. Except for rare cases, discomfort induced by boat movements happen only between one tranquil anchorage and the next one, and these passages last only a few hours.
