Booking & payments

Booking

To secure a booking, a deposit is required. The remaining balance is payable prior to departure.

Payments

Payments are made online via credit card.
All payment details are clearly provided before you proceed.

Pricing

All prices shown on our website (as listed on each boat page) are shoulder season rates.

  • Peak season bookings may attract a seasonal loading

  • Winter charters may attract discounted rates

Any applicable adjustments are always confirmed before booking.

Security bond

A $2,500 security bond is required for all charters.

  • The bond is pre-authorised, not charged

  • Payable by credit card online

  • Automatically released after the vessel is returned and checked

Bad weather

Your safety and enjoyment always come first.
If weather conditions are unsuitable:

  • We’ll discuss options with you before departure

  • In many cases, a one-time free reschedule can be offered (subject to availability)

  • If rescheduling isn’t suitable, we’ll work through alternatives with you

Parking & getting here

  • Free, secure parking is available at the marina

  • Easy access via Northern Beaches bus routes L90 & 199

  • Clear arrival instructions are provided before your charter day

  • The Marina and access to marina amenities is all wheelchair accessible.

Cancellations

We understand that plans can change.

Cancellations outside restricted periods may be refunded or credited, while cancellations closer to the charter date, particularly during peak periods, may forfeit some or all payments.

Full details are provided before you proceed and are outlined in your charter documentation.
