Our Basic Rules
No Booze Cruising!
We do not take bookings for Stag or Hen parties or for groups who want a booze cruise. If you are in any doubt, please call us in advance of making your booking. We can refuse entry on our boats and we will not refund you if we are not happy on the day.
Security Deposits!
We take £200 Security/Damage Deposit for Zen Class and £150 for Crocodile. This is refunded in full by card when the boats are returned on time, in a clean state, undamaged and with nothing missing.
No Pets!
We love animals, but due to some misbehaved dogs on our boats in the past, we have decided not to have pets on board.
