Before booking a trip, please ensure you have read the following:
All passengers will be provided with automatic inflating lifejackets and full waterproofs. You will have a secure internal seat and be given a full safety briefing as you embark. It is extremely rare for customers to feel ill on the boat (it has been likened to road journeys in that lots of people feel sick in the car, but you never hear of anyone getting travel sick on a motorbike); however, if you are very prone to seasickness, it might be wise to take a couple of anti-sea sickness pills before you set off. Nothing can spoil any boat ride more than being sick! It is recommended that you wear high factor sun protection, even on cloudy days, and that you wear sunglasses. All year round, even in summer, it feels cooler out on the water, so make sure you layer up: in autumn, winter and spring, thermals, gloves and a hat are also a good idea! Please remember that for their enjoyment and everyone else's, trips on the RIB are not suitable for children under three years old.
Important: A trip on a RIB is an exhilarating experience. However it can sometimes be a wet and bumpy ride so it is not for everyone.
The boat is accessed via some fairly steep steps, though please let us know if you have limited mobility as we can arrange level pontoon access at high tides.
Trips are not suitable for the very overweight (please ask for advice if you or anyone in your party is over 17 stone), anyone who has back/neck problems or pregnant women.

Our boat is licensed by the MCA (Maritime Coastguard Agency) to catagory 4, which means we are able to carry 12 passengers up to 20 miles from any safe harbour. We carry all the necessary safety equipment, which includes a 14 person liferaft and all passengers will be seated on secure internal seats. The boat is a 8 metre Halmatic Pacific 24, which is the same model operated by the navies of the world, the police and other professional organisations. It has a 440hp Yanmar inboard diesel engine coupled to a jet drive. We also carry an auxiliary outboard engine.
