Frequently Asked Questions
A few details before you step on board.
Each session includes the boat, skipper, fuel, watersports equipment and personal on-water guidance. Equipment for wakeboarding, waterskiing and wake foiling is available on board, so guests may try different activities depending on ability, preference and lake conditions.
Swimwear, sunglasses, sunscreen and suitable clothing for the weather. Towels and water are provided on board.
Sessions are designed for 2 to 4 guests. For safety and practical reasons, watersports cannot be operated with fewer than 2 guests, as one person is in the water while another remains on board with the skipper. The maximum of 4 guests keeps the experience private, comfortable and allows enough time on the water for everyone.
Children from around 10 years old are welcome, provided they are accompanied by a parent or legal guardian and conditions are suitable. For safety and equipment reasons, younger children are usually too small for the boards. All participants must be able to swim and follow the skipper’s instructions at all times.
