Donor

Your gift sails with every smile

HYDROFUN donates to the program every week. The company sets the amount using an internal formula and deposits it every Monday or Tuesday. Your tour price stays the same, with no extra charges. If you'd like to pitch in, you can donate on site or directly to the program's account.

How is the program funded?

The program is funded by HYDROFUN's weekly donation. Customers never pay extra: the price of your tour is the price, period.

Safety guidelines – Jet Boat & Duffy boats

      • *The Jet Boat performs some extreme maneuvers, so it's not recommended for people with back problems, anyone who is or might be pregnant, children under 7, people who can't hold on with their own arms, or anyone with a physical condition that could make the ride unsafe for them.
      • *Jet Boat riders should bring a towel and a change of clothes for after the ride.
      • *Jet Boat riders must be at least 7 years old and 1.10 m (3 ft 7 in) tall, and strong enough to hold on through the extreme maneuvers.
      • We recommend booking at least 24 hours in advance. If you need to cancel, please let us know at least 12 business hours ahead.
      • HYDROFUN is not responsible for any consequences of not following these guidelines.

We plan and decorate all kinds of events on our boats. Just give us a call and we'll take care of everything.
