CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19) UPDATE

[Updated as at 4th June 2020]
BOOKINGS ARE NOW OPEN FOR CRUISES FROM 13 JUNE

Changes to how we operate in light of the coronavirus:
  1. COVID-Safe checklist is complete and Pilgrim Sailing is a COVID-Clean business.  ✅ 
  2. No-one is permitted on board if they feel unwell or display any of the symptoms of coronavirus (fever, dry cough, tiredness, sore throat etc). We require a declaration at the time of booking confirming that should anyone in the group feel unwell, they will NOT board the vessel.

Good Hygiene Practices:
  • Thorough cleaning with disinfectant before and after every cruise both above deck and below.
  • Food will be served on disposable (& compostable) platters due to new regulations. We will be composting all waste.
  • No buffet for our Lunchtime Cruises or Private Day Charters - menu will be slightly adjusted to accommodate this
  • You will have a choice of disposable wine glasses (included in price) or to purchase one of our quality branded wine glasses for use during the cruise and to take home afterwards. We are offering our wine glasses at a substantial discount due to the circumstances. NB: Our branded wine glasses or stubby coolers are complimentary in the price of private charters and are yours to keep.
  • All your crew are following good hygiene practices including frequent hand washing.

Physical Distancing Practices:
  • We request that guests maintain a safe distance (no less than 1.5 metres) away from other guests at the meeting spot on the Peppers Deck.
  • On boarding the vessel, groups will be boarded one at a time and guests will be asked to wait a safe distance (marked on the dock) until the crew is ready for you to board
  • A maximum of eight guests** is permitted on board, this allows more than the required 4sqm per person on board (including crew)
  • Only one guest permitted downstairs at any one time.
  • Guests may move around the vessel, but we ask to respect physical distancing when you do.
​
** This number may be higher but depends on family/household groups.  Contact us for more information with details of your group.
