In exclusives it is at the guest's discretion to return to port and end the tour first.

Please take your children back if they put themselves in situations of risk to themselves or other people on board. Otherwise, the commander himself will give rules to children who are not respectful.

• LIVE THE SEA in RELAXATION! Our excursions are made to experience the sea in total tranquility and serenity, leave all habitual behaviors at home, get out of the routine of your life and enter the experience itself in contact with the sea and the elements of nature.

• THE CAPTAIN reserves the right to modify the routes, stops and itinerary depending on sea and wind conditions, to guarantee the safety of everyone on board and to ensure that all participants have a wonderful experience in total. safety and tranquility. We reserve the right to disembark people who do not comply with the regulations or endanger guests on board or make navigation problematic.
