Your boat is fully insured for loss or damage, however we require a security bond of $2500 to be authorised on your credit card prior to the commencement of our charter. This is a requirement of the boat owners insurance. The Security Bond will cover against loss or damage to the vessel but not charter negligence.

The bond will be released upon completion of your charter if no damage is reported by the de-briefer.

If some damage or loss occurs, the costs for the damage up to the Security Bond is deducted, and the balance refunded or returned.

Please note that the security bond is a condition of your charter and is not a type of travel insurance.

In the unlikely event that you need to cancel your booking, your charter fee is non-refundable so it is recommended that you consider Travel Insurance. When looking for Travel Insurance make sure that you a covered for events such as cancellation due to illness, injury, adverse weather, domestic flights, and security bond claims in case you damage the boat.

The vessel’s standard insurance policy will not cover you for claims caused by, or as a result of, charters negligence. Accidents happen so we recommend you get Third Party Public Liability Insurance that covers for claims made against you or your crew for Loss or Damage to Third Party Property, or the Accidental Death, Bodily Injury or Illness of a Third Party.

We require a 20% deposit to confirm your booking. The balance of your charter fee is required 60 days before departure.

In the event you cancel your charter and provide more than 60days notice prior to your charter start date, your deposit will be refunded less a service fee of $250.  If you cancel within 60 days of the charter start date, the charter fee will remain payable and is non-refundable. If we are able to rebook for the same period, only a $250 fee will apply.

The preferred method of payment is Bank Deposit, however Cash or Credit Cards are also accepted. Please note that 2.5% credit card fee applies.
