Unfortunately that is not possible. There is a legal provision under penalty of high fines if we violate this maximum. Babies are also counted as persons.

No. It is not allowed to play amplified music on the boat.

That’s allowed as long as it’s folded in and you have informed us in advance. If there are other families on board with a buggy or wheelchair, we have to plan and coordinate it perhaps to another timeslot.
Q: We rented a private boat to celebrate a special occasion. Can we put decorations on the boats?
Birthday and other decorations are allowed if not glued and can be quickly removed without leaving any traces. The decorations can be applied and cleaned up within the time your tour takes place. Please inform the host or captain in advance.
