All about safety
With nearly 40 years in the trade, skipper Arno has seen it all. His partner Saskia joined 17 years ago. She's the one who interacts most with the guests. Therefore, Saskia is also the one who talks extensively about how they ensure safety on board. 'It's a top priority,' she says.
After the tour: all about safety
When the group comes aboard, there's first a small tour. Once everyone has found their cabin, Saskia gathers everyone together. 'I then tell them everything our guests need to know. How the water and electricity work, how the gas stove operates. But also: where are the emergency exits? Where are the life jackets and how do you put them on? Why is it better not to run or jump? I explain all of that.'
