Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know to plan your trip with peace of mind.

How many people can fit on a rental boat for a hen do?

The passenger capacity of your chosen vessel depends entirely on its size and local maritime regulations. Smaller motorboats and RIBs typically accommodate up to eight guests comfortably, while spacious catamarans and large party yachts can often host twelve to twenty passengers or more. Always verify the maximum capacity listed on the boat profile before confirming your reservation. This ensures that all members of your group will have plenty of room to relax safely while enjoying the bachelorette boat party together on the water.

Can we bring our own food and drinks on a rental boat?

In most cases, you are welcome to bring your own snacks, meals, and beverages for your celebration on the water. Packing your favourite treats and drinks is a great way to customise the day and manage your budget. Some boat owners may even provide cool boxes, ice, or a small fridge to keep everything fresh. However, if you are booking a high-end luxury charter, they might require you to use their professional catering services. It is always wise to message the owner directly beforehand to confirm their specific food and beverage policies.

Are decorations allowed on a rental boat?

Decorating the vessel can make your bachelorette party cruise feel incredibly special, and many owners allow it within reasonable limits. You can usually bring soft items like banners, customised towels, and matching hats. However, you should completely avoid using anything that could damage the deck, such as hard plastics, confetti, glitter, or balloons that could accidentally fly away and pollute the sea. Always ask the skipper or owner for permission before hanging any decorations, and make sure you clean up all items when your rental period ends.
