Advance booking is highly recommended due to the limited number of tow boats available. Sessions are typically booked and priced by the minute or in 15 to 30-minute blocks. Guests usually must sign a liability waiver and check-in 15 minutes before the session starts.
Strictly weather-dependent: Sessions are canceled if wind or wave conditions are deemed unsafe by the captain, in which case a free reschedule or full refund is offered. Customer-initiated cancellations usually require 24 hours notice for a full refund; failure to provide notice often results in forfeiture of the booking fee.
Must be a confident swimmer and in good physical condition with strong grip and core strength. Not suitable for: Pregnant women, individuals with back/neck injuries, or recent joint surgeries. Minimum age is generally 10 to 12 years old, and participants must be able to follow verbal commands.
Wear Safety Gear: Participants must wear the provided life jacket at all times. Hand Signals: Learn the standard hand signals for speed and direction changes (e.g., thumb up for faster). Deep Water Start: Listen closely to the instructor for the correct technique to get up out of the water. Stay Clear: Keep limbs clear of the boat propeller.
Basic third-party liability insurance covering the activity and boat operation is typically included in the booking fee. However, this coverage is limited; participants are strongly advised to verify that their personal health or travel insurance specifically covers high-impact adventure water sports.
