Safety is the top priority in seafaring and I take it very seriously. The Blue Cruise’s level of equipment is correspondingly high and the training is up to date. The Blue Cruise is BG-Verkehr certified and has several safety systems, some of which are redundant, radar, AIS, EPIRB, VHF radios, NavTex, bilge pumps, fire extinguishers, carbon monoxide alarm, life raft, deep-sea life jackets, stretch ropes, lifelines, catch and lift system, POB-Net, RescueMe MOB devices, etc.
Knowledge of their functions and handling in use is essential. At the start of every sailing trip, we provide instruction in the use of the various safety and rescue equipment so that we can go to sea in a relaxed manner. Questions are always welcome.
Other factors are knowledge and experience in navigation and meteorology. All crew members should feel safe and the weather should allow for safe sailing. Unnecessary risks are never taken. Safety is the top priority. Safety first.
And not to forget: Good personal fitness and health are also an invaluable advantage.
Blue Cruise – everything is allowed, nothing is a must
