Maximum number of guests 16 pax Note: An infant, regardless of age is considered a passenger Dining and seating arrangements Standing cocktails 16 pax Table dining 10 pax Length of charter Minimum charter length is 4 hours. Extra time can be organised at an additional cost per hour. Arrival at the wharf We recommend that your party arrives at the wharf 30 minutes prior to your charter. The boats need to book the wharves and have a limited time to pick up and drop off your guests. Preferred pick up and drop off locations There are a number of locations available for pick up and drop off, including King Street Wharf. Please enquire as to a suitable location for your party. Multiple pick up and drop offs We do not recommend multiple pick up and drop offs as this can waste a considerable amount of your charter time. Instead, we are happy to supply you with a water taxi contact number that can deliver or pick up guests at their convenience. Presentation Facilities on board The vessel is well equipped to handle any corporate functions, product launches, conference groups or seminars. For corporate presentations, the state of the art audio visual systems and the large table in the main saloon doubles as an impressive board room. There is a split level surround sound audio system coupled with the Plasma/DVD/Video system available for use. There is also provision for you to bring projectors for PowerPoint presentations if required. What to bring As with any outdoor venue, we recommend that your guests dress for the season (i.e. sunscreen and a hat in summer, a warm jacket in winter). Bring your own mp3 device along if you have not booked a DJ. Booking and Payment We require a 50% deposit to lock the date for you. Once we have received the deposit payment, we will generate a contract for you with all your details. 2 weeks prior to the charter date we require final numbers and the balance of the payment. If you are taking the consumption bar option, we require credit card details and the consumption bar total will be processed at the conclusion of the charter.
