  •      Safety briefing is explained after arrival before we depart the jetty this is also when the layout will be explained.
  •      In the event of an emergency the crew will visually and verbally alert occupants.
  •      Exit access is free and clear at all times

We ensure exit access is free and clear at all times by: The gates are always clear to open, prams and walkers are folded up and stored towards the back of the boat.

  •       Exit doors are able to be opened by all occupants
  •       Exits to the emergency evacuation point does not include stairways

The crew identifies guests who need additional assistance should an emergency occur. customers can add notes at the time of booking. We also count and greet every passenger coming onto the boat the staff will be aware of any limitations of customers.


The procedure for assisting guests who need assisted rescue is: Someone will assist them getting a life jacket on or assign a person to help if there is a serious emergency. If it is minor staff can accompany them off the boat the same as we do when they board.
