The boat

*Captain Info:
The captain is optional. My father can take you out without any captain fees, so please select the “No Captain (bareboat)” option when booking. If you’re experienced and meet Boatsetter’s requirements, you may also operate the boat yourself. However, my father will still accompany you to assist with anchoring, navigation, and in case of any mechanical issues — ensuring your trip runs smoothly and safely.
