​

• Sailing on a sailing boat there are some simple rules to respect to allow all guests to have an experience in safety and tranquility:

• USE of WC on board.

• It is forbidden to use the toileton board during the sailing. The toilet can be used when sailing with the engine or when the sea is calm. During stops it is not possible to use the toilet to defecate, but only to urinate. To use the bathroom on board you must always ask the crew for permission so that they can instruct you on how to use it. IT IS ABSOLUTELY FORBIDDEN to throw toilet paper, sanitary towels or any other material into the toilet. Use the appropriate waste bins provided. Guests on board are advised that in the event of inattention and breakdown of the on-board toilet, the cost of repairing the toilet will be charged, which amounts to €150.00.

• SAILING is a lifestyle, on board all the participants collaborate with the crew to navigate and will make sure not to hinder the work on board. Sailing means respecting the rhythms of the sea and the wind and enjoying the journey, not reaching the destination as soon as possible.

• LIVE THE SEA in RELAX! Our excursions are made to experience the sea in total tranquility and serenity, leave all routine behaviors at home, get out of the routine of your life and enter the experience itself in contact with the sea and with the elements of nature.

It reserves the right to disembark people who do not comply with the regulations or who endanger the other participants in the tour or make navigation problematic.

TIPS & TIPS to the captain and the team.

• On the boat it is a good habit to "leave a TIP (tip)" to the skipper and crew.
