PLANNING YOUR HOLIDAY 
• First Aid Box – The boats carry a first aid box to deal with minor cuts and bruises.
• Buoyancy Aids – Buoyancy aids are available from the Marina free of charge.
• Pets – Well behaved dogs are the only pets allowed. Please bring the dog’s own bedding. For safety, dogs must be kept on a lead whilst at the boatyard.
