Instructions
Follow these steps for a good trip
1 - Before all people step on board, put the two black self-bailers in the hole in the floor. Do this exactly; otherwise you will get wet feet ;)
2 - Disconnect the charging cable from the charger and the socket in the boat, put it rolled up in the boat’s rear hatch.
3 - You can find the cushions in the rear hatch of the boat, the back seat opens with a code you can find in your booking confirmation e-mail. These cushions also float if needed for emergencies.
4 - You can start and stop the boat via the link that you received by SMS. Choose the number of the boat you want to sail with and start your trip!
5 - When you arrive back at the dock, lease moor the boat in a just way. Put the cushion back in the cabin and plug the charger back in.
