Water, boats and weather add up to a potentially dangerous combination. If you do not have a reasonable amount of experience, for your safety and others, we will be unwilling to hire a boat to you.

Bookings may be made by phone, fax, email or just call round and on a basis of first with the deposit has the right to the boat. Once a booking deposit has been received the boat will be reserved exclusively for you.

Full payment for the hire period must be made prior to the commencement of the hire with cash or credit card. Cheques only accepted if paid in advance and cleared before commencement of hire (minimum 7 days).

Boats must be cleaned, refueled and returned by 6pm on the last day of hire.

Damage to the boats are covered by insurance however an excess of $500.00 applies to the boat, motor and equipment.  Any damage to the boat, motor or equipment  or loss of equipment will  be borne by the hirer.
