Guide to a successful meal on a SeaZen solar boat

Many of you ask us whether it’s possible to eat or drink on the solar boat. The boat offers a large table with shaded seats, but at sea, some tips are needed to make this experience a success..

Can I bring my own food and drink?

Of course, you can bring snacks and drinks, provided the sea is calm and there’s no wind! The large table is designed for this purpose. Be careful, though, as the cork deck can be damaged by alcoholic, fatty or acidic liquids. We may have to return earlier than planned to allow time to wash the deck in case some waves spill drinks onto the deck before the next guest. For safety reasons, the skipper must ensure that the group is sober and able to respect the rules of safety at sea. He or she should not hesitate to come back in case of doubt. So, if you want to bring your own snack:

  • Prepare your basket at the last minute, knowing that in the event of unforeseen weather conditions, it may not be possible to enjoy it.
  • Consume in moderation – keep your glasses in your hand until they’re empty, avoid chips and anything that can roll or fly away.
  • Be careful with liquids (wine, cola…) which can damage the cork table or dirty the boat for the next group of visitors.

Last minute à la carte service

La Cabane du Pêcheur offers a snacking service with dishes and drinks à la carte. They are located right in front of the boat and open in summer most days.
