1 The current prices are subject to change.
2 After a reservation deposit is paid the price quoted will not change.
3 A deposit of $1,000 per week is required within 7 days to confirm your booking. If the total hire value is less than $1,000 the full amount is due on booking. (2% surcharge on all card transactions)
4 Full payment for hire is required 8 weeks (2 months) prior to departure.
5 A $1,000 – $2000 security bond is payable 7 days prior to arrival via EFT or credit card (surcharge 2% applies). The bond on ICONIC and ELEVATE is $2000. The bond is fully refundable less fuel used and loss/damage (within 14 days of end of hire) when the boat is returned on time, in good order & condition. Bond is refunded into a nominated bank account. A description of your group (ie. number of males and females and the average age of the people in your group) MUST be discussed with the booking office at the time of booking. Single sex groups or where some or all of the occupants on the boat are under the age of 25 will incur a double bond. Strictly no schoolies, bachelor or hens parties allowed. Failure to disclose may lead to refusal of sailing upon arrival.
Insurance waiver option. This is a fee of $90 per night, which can help you in the case of an insurable incident. For significant damage/loss, you will be liable for the insurance excess of $5,000-10,000. The insurance waiver reduces this liability to $1,000 per incident, however you will still be liable for minor damage that is not claimable on insurance. The office must be notified within 15 mins of an incident and you may be required to return to the marina. The excess on Iconic & Elevate is $10,000 and the insurance waiver reduces this to $2,000 per incident. Private travel insurance is highly recommended.
*The nightly insurance waiver fee of $90/day is non-refundable once the hire has commenced. Once a hire has commenced, requesting to take out the insurance waiver is not allowed and the $5000-10,000 excess applies.
**If the damage or loss to the houseboat is caused by a negligence or prohibited use, you are responsible for the full excess amount and possibly all subsequent legal / recovery fees. Prohibited use may include but is not limited to: being over 0.05 whilst driving, ignoring NSW Maritime laws, driving the houseboat without a full driver’s licence, being outside the fencing whilst motors engaged / houseboat moving. If unsure please contact a staff member for further information.
