FAQ
Here you will find answers to our most frequently asked questions. Contact us if you need more information.
Cancellation rules
It’s not possible to purchase cancellation protection for our boat trips. Please wait to book until you are sure about your choice. If you cancel latest 48 hours before service we refund 47,5%.
Are there other guests at the same tour?
We have good place for one or two families, 8-11 pax, and if you want you can order a private tour just for your group.
What happens if the weather is bad?
At lousy weather (strong wind and/or heavy rain) we cancel the boat trip and you will get a 95% refund or a new trip another day if you prefer that. A bit of rain doesn’t stop us from going out on a fishing trip, we have really good rainwear for alla sizes. We use Weather Pro and YR.no app to check the forecast. Even if the weather mostly is better at Hönö island compared with the city we might be forced to stay in harbor. Once a year we cancel a day.
The minimum is four pax. I travel alone!
After the first booking it’s possible to book for less than four. Please wait, come back and check.
Can I bring my sweet dog?
All sweet dogs are welcome onboard. Please leave a note when booking.
Accessibility. Is it difficult to get onboard the boat?
Not much harder than any other smaller boat but you will need to be able to lift your legs 20 cm and walk down a small staircase. We normally have space for one or two baby strollers.
Is there a loud speaker voice during the boat trip?
Not here! No Stress is our theme. We want you to be able to relax and enjoy the archipelago, but if you have any questions we are happy to tell you about the birds, seals, rocks and the ocean. At occasion you might get told a pirate tale.
Are there life vests for everyone?
All pax are wearing life vests during the whole trip and we keep all sizes onboard. For adults we also have a warm float jacket if preferred.
How should I dress for the boat trip?
We drive boat all year round and you only need to dress according to the forecast and calendar. We use rainwear from Grundéns when we are fishing and it protects us from fish blood and mud. At wintertime we wear warm float jackets and cosy blankets.
Parking
Feel free to park outside the harbor area where there are no restrictions. In the harbor, parking is free for three hours. Use a parking disc or write a note and place it on the dashboard. During the peak summer season, you might need a little extra time to find a parking spot in the harbor.
Is an hour’s drive from Gothenburg city enough?
Our home harbor, Hönö Klåva, is normally just about one hour from the city. You can travel by car, taxi, bus, or bike. In the summer, there is an archipelago boat from Stenpiren that comes directly here in one hour. Read more here. If you are coming by car, it is good to keep in mind that during the summer there can be a line for the ferry from Lilla Varholmen to Hönö. Start in good time, preferably two hours before departure. Hönö Klåva is a really nice place to kill time.
Is there anything to do on Hönö?
If you get hungry, there are about ten good restaurants in the harbor to choose from. Around twenty shops sell clothes, food, beauty products, second-hand items, health foods, hardware, shoes, toys, etc. Finding a good swimming spot is easy. On the western and northern sides of the island, the beach is rocky, and you can easily find your own cliff if you walk a bit. In the east and south, there are shallow sandy beaches. Our islands are ten in total and small enough that you can walk around each one in a few hours. You can find both lively nightlife and total tranquility, and you can get around on foot, by bus, or rent a bike from Paolo. If the weather is really bad the fish museum in Klåva is an alternative.
Covid-19
Our boating is outdoor and risk of infection is low. We bring two-three groups max 8-11 pax onboard. Hand sanitizer is provided and we think you do not need to wear mouth or face protection. Just make sure you are healthy. Welcome to us!
