Price
Do all the people in the group have to travel together?
People from the same group are required to travel together at the same time. Each group ticket
has a main ticket holder and their fellow passengers. Each ticket says whether the passenger
concerned is the main ticket holder or not and how many people are in the group. The main rule
is that a fellow passenger must always travel together with the main ticket holder. The fellow
passengers can get on at a later station.
When can you travel with the group ticket?
The Group Ticket only lets you travel at off-peak hours. On Monday to Friday, that means before
06:30, between 09:00 and 16:00 and after 18:30. At weekends, it is all day from 18:30 on Friday
evening until 06:30 on Monday morning.

Each boat have to choose their plan for provisioning:
- Get the provision delivered on the boat (not possible : issue with foreign credit card)
- Buy the provision at the local supermarket (see next slide)
- it’s possible to use the trolley up to the boat
Strategy for meals
• Each sailor have to come with 2 successful recipes (minimum).
• Lunch: salads, boterham … prepared before lunch mooring.
• Dinner: on board or restaurant
Notes:
• We will try to find a night mooring/harbor where there is a possibility for a restaurant.
• Except the 1st night (Sunday) as we will be in the Cabrera national park
• Do not take too much food as it’s difficult to keep it too long in the fridge and storage is limited in the boat
• We will be provided with a starter pack from the charter
