General operational Terms & Conditions

  • All Passengers who intend to proceed ashore into Freycinet National Park are required to hold a valid National Parks Pass – These can be purchased online or on-board; or, they can be obtained in person from the Freycinet National Park Visitors Centre ashore beforehand.

  • Tasmania’s weather can be quite unpredictable at times. Consequently, all ‘Beach Drop-offs’, ‘Beach Pick-ups’ and Personalised Charters are subject to weather conditions. Accordingly, we reserve the right to cancel your transfer service at any time if we conclude that the conditions exceed or operating limits; or, that the conditions or activities sought may endanger passengers.

  • Due to changeable and sometimes unpredictable weather conditions, sea states and the size of our vessel, all passengers need to be physically fit enough to walk back from their drop off point in Freycinet National Park to the Wineglass Bay Car Park (in Coles Bay) if we deem that the prevailing conditions are beyond our safe operating limits and our service is delayed or postponed for any reason. This means that all passengers proceeding ashore should do so only with appropriate footwear, clothing, maps, a mobile phone and adequate drinking water supplies, just in case.

  • While passenger details and full payment are required beforehand to secure your booking, there are times when it may be possible to just turn up, board and pay for your travel right there and then. We're sure you will understand that pre-paid passengers must take priority in these circumstances.

  • While we encourage passengers to bring their own equipment, you should note that passengers are solely responsible for the whereabouts, the loss of or damage to their own personal equipment.

  • Please be advised that although infants travel free of charge, a seat is not allocated to them individually. A dedicated seat for an Infant will need to be booked separately.
