FAQ

Handy to know before you step aboard. If we’ve missed something, just ask.

• How many people can come?

  Up to 8 guests plus the captain. The boat is reserved for your group only.

• What does a trip cost?

  €400 per hour for the whole boat, rather than per person. Fuel, the captain and life jackets are included. We agree your route, duration and total price before booking.

• Can we bring our own food and drinks?

  Yes, bring your own snacks and drinks. The cabin has a table and fridge. Catering and chilling drinks before departure can be arranged separately.

• What if it rains or gets windy?

  The enclosed cabin offers shelter, and the captain assesses the conditions before deciding whether to sail. If a trip cannot run safely, we agree another date at no extra cost.

• Where do we leave from?

  Andrejosta in central Riga. We send the exact meeting point and time with your booking confirmation. If you would like a different departure point, mention it in your enquiry and we will check the options.

• Can children come?

  Yes. Children count towards the total number of guests. Tell us their ages and how many are coming so we can prepare life jackets in the right sizes.

• Do we need to be able to swim?

  You do not need to be able to swim to join the trip. Life jackets are available for all guests; follow the captain’s instructions on board.

• How far ahead should we enquire?

  For a particular date, especially a summer weekend, get in touch early. Last-minute plans are welcome too – we will check availability.

• When is the season?

  May to mid-October. We agree your date and departure time around the weather and availability.

• Can we swim during the trip?

  On the Ķīšezers route, we can plan a swimming stop when conditions allow. The captain chooses the spot, and the stop counts towards your trip time. The boat has a swimming ladder.

• How do we pay?

  By bank transfer before the trip. We send payment details when arranging your booking. Include your billing details if you need a company invoice.

• Which languages does the captain speak?

  Latvian, English and Russian. You can mention your preferred language in the enquiry.
