Once you have arrived, you will see our signage by the pier. Please refrain from attempting to board the boat without communication from our staff members - once we are ready to begin boarding, a member of our team will meet you and check you in at the secure gate on our ramp.

Please note: whilst we aim to be as punctual as possible, due to the unique nature of our operation, there may be occasional instances where we are slightly delayed in boarding, so please rest assured a member of staff will ensure you are seen to in good time before departure.

Please ensure that you arrive on time for your cruise as unfortunately, we are unable to call the boat back once it has departed. However we may be able to offer an alternative date at our discretion. Please refer to our Terms & Conditions for more information.
