The company reserves the right to alter or amend routes or substitute an alternative craft whenever in their opinion it shall be necessary. If due to circumstances beyond the company’s control it is not possible to provide the boat booked or a suitable alternative, the company will refund the hire charges paid in full, but the hirer shall have no further claim on the company. Passengers should not board or leave the boat other than by the boarding access provided and when a member of the crew has declared that it is safe to do so.
