At low tide, the gangways will be steeper so to avoid walking up/down hill please take a look at the tide tables before planning your trip.

On board there is room for several wheelchairs but the actual number of wheelchair users permitted on a sailing is at the discretion of the Commander.

Safety instructions are broadcast over the vessel's public address system and all Red Jet's have a video system, which broadcasts a safety video with subtitles at the beginning of each journey.
