Q: What is the difference between Category A and Category B boats?

Q: What is the difference between above deck and below deck cabins?

A: Above deck cabins are on the boats main deck and have access to the sea. Below deck cabins are in the lower part of the boat and are cheaper, however they also tend to be a bit cooler on hot days.

Q: Do I need to pay anything to the Captain?

A: Yes. Since visitor’s taxes, port fees and entrance fees to National Parks are not included, you need to pay these direct to the Captain on the boat. Allow approximately €16 for visitor’s taxes and port fees. National Park fees will be between €10- €15 per person. Also, there may be 1 or 2 nights where the captain offers to do a ‘captain’s dinner’ or BBQ on the ship for dinner in which case you pay him if you choose to take part.
