Frequently Asked Questions

There is no set age limit; rather, it is a matter of being able to swim independently in open water. The Seabob is incredibly user-friendly—even a 6-year-old can master it within minutes. However, for safety reasons, users must be capable of returning to the vessel unaided in the unlikely event of a technical issue. While our crew maintains constant supervision, guests should be able to swim back to the boat or wait comfortably in the water for our rescue tender to collect them.

As with all water activities, there is an inherent risk of drowning. However, our team provides life jackets and conducts a safety briefing before every use of the Seabob F5S during your charter. Furthermore, for your peace of mind, our Seabobs are electronically limited to a maximum depth of 2 meters (approx. 6.5 feet).

The main salon (living area) and the aft deck are seamless and easily accessible.
