Common Questions

Is there a toilet on board?

• Yes, there is a compact toilet compartment on board

Do you serve food or drinks on board?

• We offer complementary tea, coffee and bottled water

Can we bring food and drinks with us on board?

• Yes, you are welcome to bring your own food/drinks on board with you

What’s best to wear, for the boat trip?

• Flat, comfortable shoes, no stilettos please, and warm showerproof clothing that will block the wind, and protect you from showers. We do have indoor seating, but you may wish to go out onto the aft deck for the best views, and it can sometimes be chilly on the water

Is there seating on board?

• Yes, up to twelve people can sit outside on the partially covered aft deck. There are also seats inside for these people if they would prefer, or if the weather is inclement or chilly. Passengers can move freely between inside and outside, as desired.

How many people does the boat hold?

•  12 people per trip, this number includes babies and young children, plus skipper and crew

Do you accept dogs on boat trips?

• Yes, we accept dogs, if they are well-trained and kept on a lead.

What happens if the weather is bad?

• Jola too is an extremely safe and stable boat and copes comfortably with most weather conditions. Even if waves are splashing on the bow, the aft deck, which is partially covered, tends to remain dry and sheltered. There is seating for 12 inside, with windows all round, so there is a safe space if needed to drink your tea and coffee, and full protection from the weather if required.  In the very rare event that we have to cancel, we will offer you a full refund or an alternative date.

Is there wheelchair access?

• We are currently exploring ways to bridge the gap between the moving surface of the narrow pontoon and the moving surface of the boat deck, but the solution is not straightforward. At the moment, the gap between boat and pontoon is approximately 30cms and there is a small lip at the open gate of the boat (width 70cms). If the wheelchair user is able to stand for long enough to step into the boat, there is more than enough room to sit in the wheelchair on the aft deck. The inside seating area has a high (30cm) lip and a narrow entrance, so would only accommodate a folded wheelchair. Watch the video on our boat page to see exactly what is involved.
