With our overnight crewed yacht charters in the Whitsundays, you only need to bring the basics. As space is limited onboard a small soft bag each is usually your limit. During the warmer months you will need light clothes, swimmers, plenty of sunscreen, hat, sunglasses, toiletries, towel and camera. In the cooler months you will also need a warmer coat for the evening and maybe long trousers. The main thing to remember is a towel and swimmers.

A briefing usually covers what you need to bring, where you need to be and any extra charges that need to be settled. (like Marine Park Tax or Stinger Suits)

Most of our crewed yacht charters in the Whitsundays are also byo alcohol (no glass, only cans or boxes of wine). Please check with your consultant if your cruise is byo or not. For the cruises with alcohol onboard you will find they are cheaper than bar prices.

The Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority and Queensland Parks and Wildlife charge fees for entry into the Marine and National Parks. Please note there is a fee levied on all passengers to cover park entry fees and administration costs. These are subject to change and are payable either at check-in or upon boarding.

Once you have confirmed there are spaces available and it is the cruise you are after we do require a 20% deposit to confirm your reservation. We can also hold spaces for up to 5 days if you need to discuss this with friends and family. If there are any problems during this time please let your consultant know. We can always help with flights, transfers and pre or post accommodation.

Payment in full is then required 30 days prior to arrival. This is also flexible depending on your arrival and booking date. When making a reservation we will need the full names of all travelers, any special dietary requirements, arrival details and fax or email address for confirmation.

Payment for any Whitsunday yacht charter vessels and cruises can be made by credit card or direct deposit. For credit card payments, we usually forward you a reservation form to complete with signature for authorisation. If this is not suitable as you are traveling we can do this over the phone and you can sign for authorisation on arrival.

Direct deposit payments are made into a National Bank and you can then either email or fax us a copy of the receipt. Once we can confirm the deposit our end as well, we will send you a confirmation.

With most overnight crewed Whitsunday yacht charter, you will need to check in the day before departure, both for a briefing and to make sure we have the right information from you. This ensures you have all the correct information about the cruise prior to departing the marina. When checking in, please make sure you have your original voucher with you as well.
