Terms and conditions

Slightly smaller than The New Orleans, The Waterman has two decks, meaning that it is the perfect size for throwing a party or hosting a private business meeting.

With its classic teak timberwork and comfortable soft furnishings, the vessel strikes a balance between old world charm and modern convenience.

Passengers on The Waterman can take in the sights on the open upper deck, or enjoy the more intimate atmosphere of the lower deck saloon.
