The world health organisation has specified that COVID 19 is more difficult to catch outdoors. We think that a river is a great place for social distancing. Check out the following video of the river looking peaceful, it’s much more clear than the busy streets:
Up to 6 people from separate households can meet outside as long as they adhere to social distancing measures. In the case that every person is from a different household, then the boat capacity is reduced from 12 down to 8. Capacity will vary depending on whether some of those people are from the same household.
Per row of three seats, there should be a maximum of x1 household if there are x3 people. If there are x2 people, then they can sit at opposite sides of the boat to achieve social distance.
After the 19th of July we will continue to have a maximum of x1 group per row of seats. This means that you will still be socially distanced from other passengers. You may be sat back to back with other passengers.
