PREPARING Boat handling demonstration Once you have completed all the relevant paperwork at reception you will be shown to your boat. You will be shown how everything on your boat works from the heating and hot water to the gas oven and kitchen appliances. You will also be given a boat handling demonstration so that you and your crew are able to take the boat out on the water and practice steering and manoeuvring under the guidance and supervision of one of our team. Detailed information on boat handling can be found from page 19.
