Safety Instructions
All boat operators have legal operating licenses issued by the Marine Department and have purchased third-party liability insurance. However, guests are responsible for their own personal and property safety during personal activities.

Regarding Wind Strength
The Observatory follows the Beaufort wind scale, which divides wind strength into thirteen levels. Level 0 represents no wind and calm seas, suitable for the use of inflatable boats. In addition, the observatory and news reports usually do not use wind force series to express wind force. They usually describe wind force in terms such as light to moderate, moderate to strong, and strong to strong.
Slight: refers to winds of level 1-2, calm sea surface, light wind, and average wind speed of 4-6 knots/hour.
Moderate: refers to winds of level 3-4, with few waves on the sea surface, and white-headed waves may be seen, and the average wind speed is 13-16 knots/hour.
Strong: refer to winds of level 6-7, white-headed waves appear on the sea surface, the average wind speed is 22-33 knots/hour, and the wind force is equivalent to the No. 3 wind signal.
Generally, water activities can be carried out in winds below level 3-4, but please note that you must have relevant water sports experience and skills before the wind is gentle. When winds reach fresh and strong levels, water activities should be cancelled.
