ADVICE FOR YOUR SAFETY

•Always keep your life jackets on.
•Always wear the “quick stop”.
•Never abandon the vessel. Remember, it consists of inflated parts and has water tight compartments which make it unsinkable. In the worst of situations you are safer and more visible on an ungoverned or even capsized vessel than swimming alone in the open sea. Abandon only in case of uncontrolled fire and make sure you take with you all the necessary equipment in order to be able to signal for help.
•Always be updated on the weather conditions and monitor the condition of the vessel.
•Do not stop or pull the vessel on the beach. The beaches in Santorini do not consist of thin sand and as a result may cause damage to the vessel.
•Do not anchor the vessel very close to the beach, in order to avoid any possible damage to the vessel by the waves of near passing ships.
•When approaching a port or bay do not tie the vessel randomly. Always consult the people in charge about the most appropriate place in order to avoid any damage to the vessel and disturbance to the local people.
•Keep distance from floating ropes and fishing equipment.
•The vessel does not have a fishing permit, therefore, fishing from it is prohibited. You will be subject to the consequences of violation of fishing regulations.
