 FAQs


When do we board? All boarding information can be downloaded in PDF form from the Prices, Booking and Boarding Page.

Is parking available? Parking is available near the vessel. Drive directly to the boat to unload your baggage, and then we will direct you. Please reserve a space with us at the time of booking. We charge £5 per night after you arrive.

Can I come alone? Yes but we are very popular so we will charge a special rate which is shown in our booking leaflet.


 I am partially disabled, do I need to tell you? Since our holidays take place on a ship, you must warn us of any mobility problems that you have in advance so we can be prepared to help in any way necessary upon your arrival. Our gangplank has railings on both sides and folding wheelchairs can be brought on board.


Is there a power socket in the cabins? Yes, every cabin has a 240V power socket suitable for small hairdryers, phone chargers etc. Please note that they cannot be used for high powered hair dryers or portable immersion heaters or kettles. There is also a power socket for electric razors in the bathrooms.


Can we make tea and coffee in our cabins? We have to manage our power consumption very carefully and unfortunately we cannot provide tea and coffee in every cabin. However, self-service tea, coffee and chilled water is available in the saloon throughout the day.


Can I bring my own alcohol? Our vessel is licensed under the licensing Act 2003. Alcohol purchased off the premises cannot be consumed in the licensed areas of the vessels.


Can you cater for special diets? Yes, we frequently have customers who need special diets. Gluten free, dairy free, vegetarian, vegan and menus suitable for diabetics are all available as long as you warn us at the time of booking.

What happens to my deposit payment? For your peace of mind, deposits for our holiday cruises all go into a trust account where they cannot be released until your cruise is complete.

Is there hanging space in the cabins?  Yes, there is ample hanging space for up to a weeks worth of clothes! There are about 10 hangers in each cabin but the crew can supply you more if needs be.

What about my suitcase?  There is plenty of space to store luggage under the bed. We have yet to see a case that doesn't fit (and there have been some giant ones over the years!)

What if someone needs to get hold of me whilst I am on board?  Mobile phone reception can be limited on board sometimes but you can bring your mobile phone, or the vessel has its own mobile phone number. This number is in your boarding information if you have booked directly with us.
