Choose the Right Boat for Your Group
Please make sure to select the correct boat when booking:

🥂 Drinks & Catering
Drinks and catering are not included in the cruise price and must be pre-selected during the booking process via the add-ons. This allows us to tailor the onboard service to your preferences and ensure a smooth, high-quality experience.
When booking, guests may choose:
-
either one of our all-inclusive packages
-
or a selection per unit (individual drinks or catering items)
Through the add-ons, guests can also create their own combinations, fully adapted to their wishes.

-
A new bottle will only be opened once the previous one is completely finished
-
Drinking games and ad fundum consumption are not permitted
-
Intentional waste (e.g. throwing beer overboard to get a fresh drink sooner)
➝ will result in the immediate termination of the all-inclusive package and boatride, without refund

cava, wine, beer, champagne, rum, gin, soft drinks, and water.

In the comments section of your booking, kindly mention:
