When Mother Nature Steps In: Our Bad Weather Policy for Ilfracombe Princess & Adventure Ribs

At Ilfracombe Princess and Adventure Ribs, we are committed to providing our guests with unforgettable experiences and memories. Our cruises and adventure rib rides are designed to showcase the stunning North Devon coastline, while prioritising the safety and comfort of our passengers. However, sometimes Mother Nature has other plans, and we must adapt accordingly.

In this article, we will explain our policy when bad weather forces us to cancel trips and how we prioritise your safety and satisfaction.

 

Our Commitment to Safety:

Safety is our number one priority, and we closely monitor weather conditions before each of our trips. Our experienced captains and crew are trained to make informed decisions based on the latest weather forecasts and real-time observations. In cases where adverse weather conditions pose a risk to the safety of our passengers and crew, we will cancel the trip.

 

How We Determine Trip Cancellations:

We consider several factors when deciding to cancel a trip, including:

Wind speed and direction: High winds and rough seas can create hazardous conditions for our boats and passengers.

Rain and visibility: Heavy rain can significantly reduce visibility, making it difficult to navigate and enjoy the scenery.

Swell and wave conditions: Large swells and waves can make for an uncomfortable and potentially dangerous experience.

We make every effort to provide our guests with as much notice as possible if a trip must be cancelled due to weather. We monitor conditions continuously and will provide updates via phone, email, or our social media channels. We also have a WhatsApp group which we will also post updates on, we offer this option when you have booked. 

 

Rescheduling and Refunds:

In the unfortunate event that we must cancel a trip due to bad weather, we offer the following options to our guests:

Reschedule: We will gladly reschedule your trip for another date or time that suits you, subject to availability.

Full Refund: If rescheduling is not possible or convenient, we will issue a full refund for your booking.

Our goal is to make sure your experience with Ilfracombe Princess and Adventure Ribs is a positive one, even if Mother Nature has other plans. If you have any questions or concerns about our bad weather policy, please don't hesitate to contact our friendly team.
