Please read these Terms and Conditions carefully, with particular attention to the cancellation conditions.

We would urge you to take out Holiday Insurance (for only a few dollars), as it will cover your deposit in the event that you have to cancel your trip.

Bookings: A deposit of $400 is required to secure the charter. The balance is required 30 days prior to departure. Christmas, New Year, Easter, School Holidays & Long Weekends a deposit of $1,000 is required with the balance due 90 days prior to departure. Monies can be paid by credit card, bank transfer or cheque.

Security Deposit: A bond of $2,000 cash or credit card must be lodged before departure. The bond will be refunded shortly after return, less any unpaid fuel charge, cost of repairs or damage to boats or equipment or cost of extra cleaning. We reserve the right to hold the bond for up to 7 days, until any costs can be ascertained. The bond will be held in quarantine until the boat has had a ‘”full bond clean’” and service. The bond will then be released by your bank if paid by card or paid into the nominated bank account if paid by cash.

Charter Contract: A charter contract stating the conditions under which the boat is chartered will be entered into before commencement of the charter period. Provided this contract is adhered to, liability for damage to the boat or equipment will be limited to the amount of the security bond. If the contract is breached, liability will not be so limited.

The Charter: The charter is made on the understanding that the boat is placed at the disposal of the hirer on the date booked unless the management is prevented from doing so by mechanical breakdown or unforeseen circumstances. Should that occur, all monies paid will be refunded in full. However, the hirer shall have no claim on any account against the proprietors.

Indemnity: The Hirer is liable for and irrevocably and unconditionally indemnifies the Proprietors against all liability, loss, penalties, payments, costs, charges and expenses directly or indirectly arising out of the Hirer’s failure to comply with the terms and conditions of the hire agreement and any Local, State and Commonwealth laws relating to the use of the waterways.
