House rules
House rules
So that everyone, including the neighbours along the canal, has a good time.
- Our skipper
- The skipper is in charge on board. Always follow their instructions. In unsafe situations or if rules are not followed, the skipper may change the route. You get one warning; if the behaviour continues, the cruise ends immediately.
- Behaviour on board
- We want everyone to have a good time. Provocative, aggressive or unwanted behaviour towards other passengers or the skipper is a reason to end the cruise. Excessive drinking is not allowed. Anyone visibly under the influence at departure may not board. The skipper may put people ashore or end the cruise if it becomes unsafe.
- Amplified music
- Amplified music is banned by the city of Utrecht, including sound from a Bluetooth speaker or phone. The skipper has to stop it, and anyone who still plays amplified music may lose access to the boat. So please leave speakers at home. Singing and acoustic instruments are fine.
- Safety
- Do not lean (partly) over the edge of the boat, before, during or after the cruise. Swimming in the canals and the city moat is prohibited by the city.
- The boat
- Please take good care of the boat and everything on it. Sit on the benches and cushions; standing on the benches during the cruise is not allowed. Only get on and off using the two steps in the middle of the boat and follow the skipper's instructions.
- Toilet
- The luxury boats have a small toilet on board, and there are a few toilet stops along the way. Ask the skipper. Please do not use the toilets of nearby restaurants before or after the cruise. Urinating in public is strictly forbidden; anyone who does so may not come back on board.
- Your own food and drinks
- You may bring your own food and drinks. Barbecues, grills and other heating devices are not allowed on board. Drink in moderation.
- Drinks package
- Drinks ordered through us are for the cruise only and may not be taken off the boat afterwards.
- Waste
- There are rubbish bags on board. Keep cans and bottles with a deposit separate from other waste. We take the bags with us; leave the boat as clean as you found it. Never throw rubbish or anything else off the boat, including confetti or other decorations.
- Deposit
- Put empty cans in the special deposit bag on board. Do not crush them and do not use them as a bin.
