Check in and check out on the boat
It goes without saying that we need time to load the boats, to clean and do small maintenance. We ask for your cooperation on arrival day that check in can not be before 05:00 p.m. and the check out 10:00 a.m. at the latest. If you check in before 05:00 p.m., please have consideration for the crew if they are still cleaning or loading the boat. Because of organizational or technical reasons, perhaps you will have to stay in a hotel for the last night as our guest.
Departure from the boat
In the afternoon one day before departure, the boat will enter the harbour. The luggage will be brought from the storage to prepare all your personal things. The details for the return journey will be given to you from the staff of Blue Planet Liveaboards.
