Guests are welcome to BYO food, alcoholic beverages and ice, apart from the refreshments we serve as normal. A spare cooler is provided onboard. Responsible consumption of alcohol is to be adhered to as per normal boating behavior.
There are excellent Cafes on the Lakeside for before, during or after the tour. Catering on the vessel can be arranged as a special request.

Swimming and Island Walking
The waters are beautiful and clean and the waterway is generally very sheltered. Guests can swim only when the boat is anchored or
secured to a mooring. Swimming off the yacht is at the guests own risk. If you wish and time allows, you may walk on the Island,
again, at your own risk.
