Frequently Asked Questions
Is it safe for children ?
Yes, children if all ages love it. We carry children right down to babies in arms and have lifejackets to fit them all. Our biggest concern for the little ones is wind chill so please make sure that they are wrapped up. We have a 6 year old son and a 3 year old daughter who both love coming out on trips!
What if I feel unwell or have a panic attack ?
If you are unsure then we would recommend the inshore ½ hour or 1 hr sailings. Then if you really feel unhappy we will sail quickly back to shore and drop you off. It is something that we understand and wont make a fuss of.
I have a medical condition so can I sail ?
We carry physically and disabled peopled, pregnant ladies etc etc. Our general rule is that you must let us know before boarding that you have a condition. This then will be related to the boat and the shore duty officer may give advice. The sailing is always tailored to the "weakest" on board and hence it is important that the skipper knows of any condition.
Can we just turn up and expect to get on a trip?
Not normally. We get extremely busy and recommend that your book in advance. During the summer months you may be lucky if you turn up at Aberporth beach, but we cannot make any guarantees.
Do you sail in all weathers?
Our boats are purpose built and designed to provide a safe and comfortable voyage in virtually all weathers. However, if you are unsure please call our office. Ultimately the skipper has the final say as to weather a trip will run. If we have to cancel a trip we will try our best to accommodate you on another sailing or if that is not possible a full refund will be given. If you cancel a trip refunds are entirely at our discretion.
How can we pay?
All trips must be prepaid. Cash Cheques (with a valid guarantee card) and all major credit cards are accepted.
