Risk Assessments/Pre Visits and Booking
We want you to get the most out of your visit and experience stress free booking and planning. We welcome two teachers to come along and assess the trip, devise a question sheet for your group and check locations. We can also provide you with our risk assessment and public liability information as required. To make a booking please call us on 01904 628324 with a date and we will find you a suitable time slot. Don’t worry about actual numbers as these can be confirmed closer to the time. Payment is due two weeks prior to sailing and any reduction in your numbers can be refunded after the cruise (min of 20 paying required). Or simply pay for the extras on boarding the boat.
We look forward to welcoming you aboard in the near future!
