Any other rules the organisers and guests should know?
For those with difficult walking, the skipper can manoeuvre the boat so the guest can enter via the rear platform, but they will still need to step across from the wharf. The crew can assist with boarding if required. The only other potential difficulty is one small step up from the rear deck into the cabin, and then several steep steps down to the toilet.
