Special Notes

  • Maya Cruising is not responsible for any accidents that may occur onboard and insists that clients are informed of this and the need for extra observation and caution whilst being onboard or walking between vessels and the mainland.
  • Due to specific mooring conditions and requirements in some Croatian ports, ships are moored side by side, making it necessary for the clients to cross from one ship to another with gaps in between ships to get to the shore. In such cases, passengers need to take special care when crossing and do this at their own risk. Crew assistance will be given to those needing and requesting it.

Boat Rules

  • Passports are to be handed to the captain for registration on the first day of the cruise. 
  • Jumping or diving from the ship during navigation is strictly forbidden. For safety reasons climbing on the masts is also forbidden. 
  • During rough weather, movement should be minimized and done with care, as floors can often be wet and slippery.

  • Life Vests are placed under the seats in the dining area and/or under the bed in the cabins or in the wardrobe.
