Cookies and analytics
This website does not collect any cookies. We do not set tracking cookies, advertising cookies or third-party pixels of any kind.
We use Vercel Analytics, a privacy-focused analytics tool that does not use cookies and does not collect personally identifiable information. It provides anonymised, aggregated data about how visitors use our site.
No cookie consent banner is required because no tracking cookies are set by this website.
GPS tracking on our vessels
Every boat and jet ski in our fleet is fitted with a GPS tracker. During an active rental we receive the vessel's location and speed data in real time. This is used strictly for:
- Your safety and the safety of other vessels, if you are in difficulty we can reach you faster.
- Protecting the vessel from theft or unauthorised use.
- Verifying the rental was operated within the agreed cruising area and within the legal speed limits.
GPS data from your rental is retained for up to 90 days after the rental ends and is then deleted, except where we are legally required to retain it longer (e.g. in case of an incident). GPS data is never sold, shared with advertisers, or used for any purpose other than the ones listed above.
Data security
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data from unauthorised access, loss or misuse. All data transmitted through our contact form is encrypted in transit (HTTPS).
