TERMS  AND  CONDITIONS – For all trips

Terms and Conditions apply to all public and private tours.
Being an outdoor activity based on a river, we take the Health and Safety
of our passengers, crew and other river users very seriously.
Due to factors beyond our control we have to 

occasionally delay or cancel river tours.
The Skipper/Helmsman in charge of the vessel has final say as Boatmaster.

In making a booking and joining a boat trip with Camboats you 

accept and are fully bound by these terms and conditions.

PUBLIC  TRIPS

  • Please arrive at around 10 minutes before cruise time to allow safe boarding prior to departure. 
  • Please make yourself clearly visible as a passenger by standing at one of our Camboats trips signs. 
  • Departures are in public spaces, so make it known you are waiting for a trip.

PRIVATE  AND  GROUP  TOURS

  • Persons in charge of school and other children’s groups are reminded that, whilst the skipper accepts overall responsibility for safety whilst groups are aboard, the group leaders remain responsible for the behaviour of their group.
