We don’t want you to worry.. we are a friendly & flexible family business. Here are all our terms & conditions, including COVID terms & conditions. If there is anything you don’t understand, please just get in touch. We look forward to hosting you soon. 🙏

Bookings

To secure your booking, we require a $500.00 deposit for a 4 hour charter, along with your signed contract. The balance of the fee will be due 14 days prior to the charter along with final numbers and food and beverage requirements.

Then you can relax and anticipate your awesome day out on beautiful Sydney Harbour

Unsafe Weather

Sea Monkey Sailing cannot always guarantee a blue sky. If the weather is dangerous for boating, at the discretion of Sea Monkey Sailing management, as well as the captain on the day, reserve the right to postpone and reschedule the charter. Rescheduled charters must be used within 6 months of the original booking date.
Payment will still apply for catering or optional staff arrangements in the event of postponement. If you choose not to reschedule, the charter will then be considered a cancellation, and fees will apply – please see Cancellation Policy below.
Sydney Harbour is known as one of the safest harbours in the world and is well protected from strong ocean currents and ocean winds.

General Cancellation Policy

If the charterer cancels the charter within 30 days of the date of the charter, the deposit will be forfeited.

If the charter is cancelled inside 7 days and full payment has been made the whole charter fee which may include catering, alcohol and wait staff will be forfeited.
If notice of cancellation is 31 days or greater the deposit will be refunded less a 50% booking and administration fee.
All payments for all November – December and public holiday bookings are non-refundable.

Covid Cancellation Policy

If Government restrictions prevent the Operator from operating the charter the booking will be postponed for a future date within 6 months or restrictions lifting, on the same vessel subject to availability.

You may also postpone if Government restrictions reduce the capacity of the vessel to less than the number of people on the original booking. Postponements will be valid for a booking of the same value.

Guests unable to attend the event due to travel restrictions does not constitute a valid reason to postpone the event, therefore standard cancellation terms will apply.
