Trip information
Where do I see what is included in the price?
Each listing has a section that lists what is included – for example fuel, drinks, snorkelling or fishing gear – and what is not. If something you care about isn’t mentioned, assume it is not included and ask the skipper once your booking is confirmed.
Who writes the trip descriptions?
The boat owner. Titles and descriptions are shown exactly as the owner wrote them and are not translated automatically, so a listing may be in a different language from the rest of the site. Our team checks every new listing before it goes live.
Which languages are spoken on board?
The listing shows the languages the skipper or crew speak. If you need a particular language for a guided tour, check this before booking.
Is the trip suitable for children or for people who don’t swim?
That depends on the boat and the route, so read the listing carefully. When you book, use the note to the skipper to say that children or non-swimmers are coming, so the right life jackets are ready. The skipper has the final say on safety on board.
Can I trust the reviews?
Reviews can only be written by guests whose trip was actually completed through HopABoat, one review per booking. Owners cannot write reviews of their own trips or remove reviews themselves.
What does the “Sponsored” label mean?
The owner has chosen to promote that listing, so it is shown ahead of others in the default order of search results. It is always labelled. A sponsored trip goes through the same checks as every other listing, and its price is calculated in the same way.
