Tour Important Information

WHILE ON BOARD THE YACHT

• If you are not confident in your swimming abilities, please ask the crew for a complimentary swimming noodle.
• Always keep one hand free while moving around the yacht and avoid carrying multiple items at once.
• The yacht’s white surfaces include black windows—please do not step on them, as they can be slippery. Always step on the white areas.
• The two safety nets at the front of the yacht are not trampolines, they are not designed for jumping. Please do not jump or lie on the nets while sailing; they may only be used when the yacht is stopped
• Diving is not permitted from the front of the yacht. You may dive from the designated side areas or from the back of the yacht near the ladder.
• The yacht is equipped with marine toilets. Please do not dispose of toilet paper, plastics, or any other items in the toilet. Use the trash bin provided.
• According to Greek legislation, yachts and boats are not permitted to moor directly on the beach. Sunset Oia has carefully selected the best possible swimming and snorkeling spots, as close to the shore as regulations allow.

MOTION SICKNESS

• Our crew offers natural chewing gum to help prevent seasickness—please feel free to ask.
• Try not to focus on seasickness, as in most cases it is psychological.
