On-board Accommodation*: For $30.00 per person (under 16yrs is $15 each). This enables you to stay on board your boat in its berth in the marina for the night before your charter, which starts at 1000hrs the next morning. Arrive here at the base between 1300 - 1600, once the paperwork is complete, we'll take you down to the boat and settle you in for a Safety, Loo's, LPG & Lights brief. You should have already read the PDF manual which is sent to you at the time of booking your charter. Then you and your crew can settle into the vessel for the evening and really familiarize yourself with all the vessels buttons, switches and systems as well as all the inventory and safety equipment. Then the next morning you receive a full "Safety & Systems" briefing starting no later than 0900hrs (usually 0830hrs) - we need your "1st Mate" present for this full briefing as well. The briefings can take from 1.25hrs to 2hrs to complete as we give a full area/moorings, safety and systems briefings for each vessel. You are then free to leave that morning. There is 1 restaurant and the Waikawa Boating Club here in the marina only a short walk away. If you opt for this "onboard accommodation" option then your charter starts at 1000hrs and therefore handover is at 1000hrs on your final day.
Late arrivals: All briefings must begin no later than 4.00pm and any late arrivals after this will incur a "late arrival" fee of $48.50/hour. For example if you arrive at the office at 1730hrs then a late arrival fee of $72.75 would apply. 2000hrs is the latest you can arrive.
Extra Hours/Extensions: are available (up to 4 hrs) as an add on to any charter booked. If over 4 hrs then a full day rate is charged. How to work it out - divide the daily rate by 12 and that is the hourly rate for extra hours up to 4 hrs max. Please note that you will be charged a full day if you are more than 4 hrs from your original handover time.
Provisioning: There will be a 10% fee on top of provisioning/food costs for this service. Please note that there is a minimum fee of $25.00.
Cleaning fee, bond maintenance and blocked heads/tanks: We
ask for you to "bring the boat back as you found it" and appreciate that
you are on holiday, so you can opt for our Compass Crew to clean your
boat but we do charge for this service. This usually takes between 1 and
3 hrs at $38.50/hr. Please let us know at time of booking if you would
like us to clean the boat for you. NB: Any maintenance required due to any Bond issues is charged at $58.50/hr, unblocking of toilet and tanks is charged at $75/hr.
Other extras: Dive equipment hire on request, please let us know in advance and. Bait, Tackle and Ice are available at our Compass Charters Base in the marina. Call us to arrange anything else you may need.
