Top Tips for a Smooth Family Boat Trip
Even though the crew takes great care of all guests, a few small preparations can make your day at sea even more enjoyable:
Bring a small towel, a change of clothes for the kids, and sunscreen with high protection. Arriving early often means you’ll get a spot in the shade – or even at the netted front area, where there’s a refreshing breeze.
Lemonade and water are available on board, but if your child is a bit sensitive, you might want to bring a small water bottle from home. You usually won’t need extra snacks – the BBQ is generous and filling. Life jackets for children are provided on the boat.
🎒 Handy Packing List
- Small towel
- Sun hat or cap
- High-factor sunscreen
- Spare shirt or change of clothes
- Water bottle or small snack (just in case)
