Fishing rods are included on plenty of our yachts, with bait available as an add-on purchase.

  • Smoking: Before embarking on your journey, check if smoking is allowed on board. Some yachts allow them at designated areas. Some don’t allow onboard.
  • Pet Policies: If you want to bring a pet onboard the yacht, check with the Yacht rentals if pets allowed. If the yacht is pet-friendly, inquire about any additional charges associated with bringing a pet.
  • Red Wine Consideration: Note that Red wine is not allowed on most yachts due to its potential to stain the deck. Confirm with the rental company if this policy applies to your chosen yacht.

  • Rescheduling: If it becomes impossible to delay any longer due to wet weather, the booking may be rescheduled to another date of your choice (subject to availability). Please note that this is determined by our on-site yacht operators, rather than weather forecasts.
  • Refund Policy: Please note that we only provide rescheduling, and not refunds, in the event of wet weather cancellation.
