Guests with pre-booked boat packages enjoy priority for boat trips if there is more demand then boats available. Guests who want to join the boat need to tell us at least one day in advance. The minimum amount of guests for boat trips is 3 persons or the monetary equivalent to that.
Depending on your level, the group and conditions we try to cater to your wishes. Our captains and crew will give you recommendations to their best knowledge. If you have wishes where to surf, please let us know
