Booking for Children and Larger Families

Children ride free of any special restriction on our boats — just mention how many are coming, and their approximate ages if relevant, so the team can plan seating and safety arrangements around them. Keeping a larger family together on one boat is easiest with a private booking rather than shared seats.
