Kellukka how-to:
- Make the reservation in online booking system. The payment will be needed when making the reservation. The boat can be booked from 00-11.30 or 12-23.30. If you wish to book a boat for 24 hours, you must make separate, consecutive bookings.

Enter the door with your code, walk down the stairs towards band room and you can see a storage located underneath the stairs. You can access the storage with the same PIN code as the main door.

Please note that the codes are only valid for the duration of the booking and plan your key return accordingly. Please note that the code is different for each booking.
