Preparing for your voyage
You will already have undertaken some preparation for your holiday
yourself and the following information is offered to assist in organising your
cruise and may help answer some of the questions you may have, in particular
about what will be supplied and what you need to bring.
Equipment supplied on the cruiser
Cooking utensils are basic but include three different sized pots, a frying pan,
casserole dish, chopping board, colander and kettle, teapot and coffee cafetiere.
A set of cutlery, crockery and a glass for each berth is supplied as is sugar
and salad bowls, vegetable knife, tin opener, corkscrew, bread knife, wooden
spoon and water jug. You can also request additional items such as eggcups,
serving tray, butter dish and salt & pepper containers from our storerooms on
the day of your arrival. If there are other items you need we will try to
provide them if requested in enough time before you arrive.
On board
Each galley has an electric fridge, 3 or 4 burner hob and oven/grill. Other
services on board include flushing toilet, hot/cold shower/s and hot air central
heating. Each berth has a single duvet with cover, pillow with cover, bottom
sheet and a blanket as well as a hand towel. Double berths have two single
duvets etc. Additional towels, including bath towels, blankets and pillows can
be supplied at the cost of cleaning same - these can be requested in advance if
you wish to have them on board when you arrive otherwise ask at the marina after
checking in.
Most cruisers have a radio/cassette player except for the Wexford, Waterford and
some of the Kilkennys, which have radio/cd players. There is a 12v power outlet
socket for charging and powering mobile phones, laptops and camcorders. This is
similar to the cigar socket found in cars and you should bring your 12v
charger/power source with you although there is a range of mobile chargers for
sale at the Marina Offices.
Extras which can be supplied, rented or purchased
As customer satisfaction is our aim we will endeavour to comply with any
reasonable request for additional equipment or extras where possible, especially
when given advance warning. Included among other things are trans-shave units
for people with electric shavers, anchors for fishing dinghies and 240v power
sources for breathing equipment for people with medical conditions.
Bicycles are available at the marinas but it is important to order and pay for
them in advance especially during July & August as sometimes demand is greater
than supply.
A 10ft dinghy is supplied as standard but an Outboard Motor can be rented with
Larger Dinghies (12 and 14 ft). Again pre-booking is advised.
TV/DVD
We have a limited amount of DVD/TV PLAYERS available for rent (Price on
application). Due to the nature of the equipment and the environment we cannot
guarantee supply and pre-booking is important. You can either bring your own
discs with you or we can help arrange rental from local Video Shops for you.
These players are also TV receivers and can be tuned in to get the various TV
stations available in Ireland but may need to be re-tuned if moving to different
areas on the waterway.
Important note: They are rented as DVD players not as TV receivers.
Carrickcraft also have a range of branded goods available for sale at the
Marinas including torches, novelty mugs, alarm clocks, fishing kits, postcards,
basic wet gear, a small range of clothing and canvas deck shoes to cater for the
needs of our customers.
