Before you come aboard
What to bring
Short list. It is always cooler and brighter on the water than it is on shore — that catches almost everyone out.
For your charter
Whatever the season
- SunglassesThe glare off the lake is stronger than anything on land — even under cloud.
- SunscreenThe water reflects it straight back at you. People burn on grey days here.
- One warm layer more than you thinkMoving across open water takes several degrees off the air.
- Flat or soft-soled shoesOr bare feet, which is what most guests end up doing. No heels on the deck.
- Something to tie long hair backIt gets breezy once we are moving.
Already on board
No need to pack any of this.
- Life jackets for every guest, adults and children
- Wool blankets
- Glasses, plates and everything for serving
- Your food and drinks, on hosted cruises
- A swim ladder, on charters of two hours or more
Two things to know
Please arrive five minutes early
Another charter is often waiting, so a late arrival shortens your time rather than moving it. How to find us →
There is no toilet on board
Facilities are available before boarding — worth using them. On longer charters a stop can be planned.
Anything else?
Message Captain Chris. Nothing is a silly question, least of all about the weather.
