Ask these before you pay
- What supervision ratio do you run, and are crew working-with-children checked?
- Can you supply a risk assessment and certificate of currency for the school?
- What happens if a student becomes seasick or distressed?
- Is the programme structured, and does it award anything?
- What is the wet-weather and cancellation position for a school term booking?
