13. Can I fish from the boat?

No, due to being a picnic boat, the people after you might be on there to enjoy their food and drinks and a fishy smell is not very pleasant.

14. How long does the battery last for?

The battery has the capacity to last 6.5 hours on full speed.

15. Can I moor anywhere on the river?

You can moor on public jetties, but for a maximum of 15min. Some private jetties allow people to moor up to 4 hours. Please see the map for details. Do keep in mind that you should never leave the boat out of sight. As the skipper, you are responsible for the boat at all times during your sail times.

16. What happens if I arrive or return the boat too late?

Firstly, it is your responsibility to make sure you arrive for your booking on time. Where possible we try to accommodate a late arrival of up to 15 minutes by pushing the return time back by 15 minutes. Where there is a subsequent booking this will not be possible and you must return by the agreed time.

In the event that you arrive more than 15 minutes after your scheduled booking without contacting me, you forfeit your booking and full payment, including the security deposit.

Weather and tide have to be taken into consideration. Charges of $190 will apply to boats returning more than 15 min late. If you running late interferes with another person’s booking, and they choose to cancel their booking due to this, we reserve the right to charge you for their booking as well.
However, should something have happened to the boat or any passengers, please contact us ASAP so we can help you out.

17. Is there a deposit for hiring a boat?

Yes, the boat cost as much as an Audi A3, so we want you to look after it as if it was your own. There is a $200 deposit which can cover anything from later returns, minor damage and loss of equipment

18. What if I damage the boat?

As the skipper, you are responsible for the boat and everyone on board. In case of damage to the boat, the engine and/or other equipment, the hirer is liable for the cost of the damage or the insurance excess of $1,000.

19. Are there any cancellation fees?

You can cancel or reschedule your booking until 72hrs prior to sailing, free of charge. After this, the hire fees are none refundable. If it rains or it is too windy on the day of your trip, or we deem it irresponsible to hire the boat out due to other circumcises, you will receive a full refund.
Refunds can take up to 10 working days.

20. Can there be more than one skipper?

Yes, please let us know when you arrive at the jetty as we will need to take a copy of all ID’s

21. What to bring?

Dress appropriately for the weather and spending time on the river. It can be cooler on the water, so a jumper or cardigan is a good idea. Sunscreen and a hat should be worn even on overcast days to avoid sunburn. Make sure you have plenty of water, a charged phone in case you need to contact me and anything else you think might make your trip more enjoyable.
