If you and your crew are members of the same household or support bubble and your booking satisfies the requirements of our Standard Terms and Conditions of Hire then you can go out on one boat. If the crew is made up of members of two households or two support bubbles then you will need two boats in order to comply with the government’s guidelines on social distancing. If you are in any doubt please view the latest guidelines on the GOVERMENT’S WEBSITE.
