Upon boarding (15 min prior to departure/session time), the Kuuma Skipper/Sauna Master will welcome you and explain the rules both onboard and in the sauna, making sure that everyone has a safe and enjoyable experience. Indicative schedule for a 90 minutes sauna session: Cruise to a Quiet Nearby Bay (10-15 minutes): Enjoy a leisurely 15-20 minutes cruise to a serene nearby bay. During this time, you are free to explore the vessel, change if needed, or head straight into the sauna. At Anchor (60-70 minutes): Once anchored in the bay, continue to indulge in the wood fire sauna. The sauna provides a tranquil setting for relaxation, with the option to cool off with a refreshing dip or 2 in the ocean. Alternative cooling methods are also available on board to cater to individual preferences. The Skipper/Sauna Master will give you a 10 minutes heads up signalling the opportunity for a final ocean dip before the pontoon gate closes. Return Cruise (10-15 minutes): During the return journey, you are welcome to linger in the sauna, utilise the shower bucket for refreshing cool-downs, or put on warm clothes and soak in the scenic views on the roof top terrace while cruising back to the initial pick up location. Throughout your experience, the Skipper/Sauna Master will be available to assist you, answer any questions, and ensure that your session is both memorable and worry-free.

For your convenience and due to limited storage space onboard, we suggest bringing only essential items in a closable bag. You can then leave your bag on the bench seat or hang it on a robe hook located next to the staircase. We kindly ask you to remove any hanging jewellery before boarding to prevent loss or discomfort due to high temperatures experienced in the sauna.

We do provide facilities on board. • Change room - A lockable changing room is available on board if you have not already changed into your swimwear. Please refrain from leaving your belongings in this area. • Marine toilet - A lockable marine toilet is also available for your convenience. Please only flush toilet paper down the toilet. A bin is located beside the toilet for any other waste.

Kuuma standard operating sauna temperature is between 80-90 degrees Celsius (176-194 degrees Fahrenheit), which we consider optimal for a traditional sauna experience. However, we understand that individual preferences vary, and our sauna master is more than happy to accommodate your desired temperature adjustments. Whether you prefer it slightly cooler or hotter, just let us know, and we'll make the necessary adjustments to ensure your comfort. For private sessions, especially those involving children, we typically maintain a slightly lower temperature range of 60-70 degrees Celsius (140-158 degrees Fahrenheit) to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for all participants. It's important to note that our sauna is wood-fired, meaning that adjusting the temperature may require some time as the heat gradually builds up.

To maximise your comfort and safety during your sauna session, we recommend a structured approach. We suggest three rounds of sauna use, with durations of 5, 10, and 15 minutes, respectively, and advise not exceeding 20 minutes per round (suggested time). This carefully curated schedule ensures an optimal and enjoyable sauna experience while minimising the risk of dehydration or other heat related discomfort. However, please remember that this is just a guideline—always listen to your body and adjust as needed. Our priority is your well-being, and to assist you throughout your session, the skipper/sauna master will be on board. Feel free to ask any questions or express concerns at any point during your experience.

We welcome you to bring your own food and non-alcoholic beverages aboard.

For safety reasons, please note that glassware is not permitted, and we kindly ask that you take your rubbish with you at the end of your experience.

To help us provide a relaxing and rejuvenating experience for all guests, children aged 10 to 17 years are welcomed but may only attend private sauna sessions and are not permitted in communal sauna sessions. We regret that children aged of 9 and younger are not permitted to use the sauna under our insurance policy. Children aged 10 to 17 years old need to be accompanied by an adult at all times onboard Kuuma and in our sauna . Each child counts as one person and the maximum allowed ratio is 1 adult for every 3 children. For more information please read our Terms & Conditions as well as the Children in Sauna Policy

As stated in our terms and conditions, we are unable to have children under 10 aboard at any time.

Please make alternative arrangements for any children in your care for your private sauna session or charter.
