Is A Day out on Monty B suitable for me?Mobility
Whilst you do not need a high level of fitness to enjoy a Day out on Monty B, a sailing boat is an active environment and you need to consider whether it is suitable for you. For example, we will usually be picking you up in our tender (RIB) so you will need to be able to get yourself in and out of a small boat.
A good way of assessing this is whether you can sit down on the floor and get yourself up again, unaided. Or, for instance, if you had to, could you climb out of a window in an emergency? If the answer to either of these is "no", then unfortunately this trip is not suitable for you. This is for safety reasons.
In special circumstances, such as an elderly person with restricted movement, we may be able to accommodate them (and have done so before) so please contact us by email to discuss how we could do this.
Children under 5 years old
Babies are fine on the boat as they generally sleep for the duration. However, toddlers and very young children find the restriction in their movements around the boat difficult to cope with after 1-2 hours. For this reason, we do not usually recommend this trip for children under 5 years of age.
In less busy periods, we can sometimes organise a shorter 2 hour trip which is more suitable so please contact us in this instance.
Dog allergies/fear
If you have an allergy to dogs, this trip is not suitable for you. If you are worried about being with the dogs, this is another matter and we are confident that a day spent with Mollie and Louis is enough to cure anyone of dog phobias! They are very laid back and friendly towards towards all our guests, especially children.
Food allergies/intolerance
Please advise us in advance of any food allergies/intolerance or if you require a special diet.
