We do not sail with passengers who have back problems or are pregnant as the boat is riding on waves and it can be bouncy.

You can wear your glasses during the trip however we will give you protective glasses to wear over them so that they will not fly off during the trip.

Alcohol and drugs and Ribsafari trips do not go hand in hand. Ribsafari can refuse to take people on trips that are under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

Ribsafari ensures the safety and security of its passengers and we go through safety rules before every trip.

All our guides and captains have undergone training and have a certification regarding maritime safety and emergency management from the ICE-SAR Icelandic Association for Search and Rescue.

Both of our boats have the following safety equipment: Rubber lifeboats, top-of-the-art sailing equipment, fire extinguishers, emergency torches, distress flares, emergency radios, and emergency locator transmitters.

We provide you with a warm float suit. However, we recommend you bring a hat and gloves. It is also best to wear sneakers or hiking shoes on the trip – we don’t recommend high heels or sandals.

The trips can be dependent on weather and if it is windy we do not sail, and you wouldn’t want to sail either – but we will of course repay your trip or find another time in collaboration with you.

Type of Boats
We usually cruise at 20-25 mph but normally end the trips a little bit faster.
