• Is boarding possible for individuals with disabilities?

  Our standard boarding point at Paardenveld is fully accessible for individuals with disabilities. Those in wheelchairs can be assisted onto the boat by their family or caregivers. While our skippers are willing to offer assistance, they are unable to lift passengers onto the boat due to safety regulations. If an individual cannot safely board under the supervision of their own family or caregiver, we regret that we are unable to accomodate them. For any inquiries, please feel free to call us.

• What are the codes of conduct on board?

  1. Always listen to the skipper's instructions on board. 2. As your safety on board very important, it is not allowed to swim or hang (partially) outboard before, during or after the boattrip.

In order to keep the unique canals of Utrecht beautiful, it is not allowed to throw items or waste overboard or leave them at the boarding and drop off location. 4.
