Please note these are private charter product specific t's and c's below
Wings Sailing Charters is committed to flexibility where possible. Private charters require a 20% deposit to secure a selected date and full payment is 8 weeks prior to travel. Current prices are valid up until March 2024.
Whitsunday Islands Sail SUP & Snorkel Day Tour
You have up to 24 hours prior to the tour departure time to cancel or change your booking with your agent- any cancellations within 24 hours will result in full forfeit of tour.
The Whitsundays and the north Queensland region has a wet season anywhere from November through to early April. These months can produce higher than normal tropical rainfall- charters can and do still operate in tropical wet weather. Predicted cyclones and severe weather warnings can and will cause cancellations for tours at charters at various times. Check the weather here
Once your booking has been confirmed and payment received, any new specials released cannot be applied to existing bookings. Once your guests numbers have been secured if this is heavily reduced by the charterer for any reason this does not change the rate of the secured charter cost. We do not change prices if you lose guests numbers for unforeseen circumstances and you are within the 6 week departure window.
If you wish to change your booking from a lower guest rate to the higher guest rate we need to know as soon as possible and as far in advance as possible- the cost would then change to the correct tiered rate structure and guests would pay the correct rate quoted for those numbers onboard. Prior to full and final payment being received, we reserve the right to vary prices and rates due to vessel availability and demand within the market.
Prices can vary at the discretion of your travel agent or tour operator online. Prices can be subject to change. All prices are in AUD and include GST.
Prices do not include transfers to and from the marina for vessel departures, air fares, accommodation or extras.
Discounted specials & referral discounts do not apply within any Australian school holidays or overnight charters over 10 guests.
** Please note Australian school holidays, public holidays & long weekends will incurs a 15% surcharge on the above prices.
It is extremely important that you take out Travel Insurance. It is ESSENTIAL that this insurance covers you for involuntary cancellation of your holiday including airfare(s). At the time of entering your credit card details on the booking form you are agreeing that you have read the Terms & Conditions.
The Operator strongly recommends that guests have travel insurance to:
Guests special conditions
Guests with special conditions / language difficulties / special needs should email info@wings.com.au to discuss travel options prior to booking; or vessel boarding may be refused and no liability will be taken for any losses.
Due to WPHS regulations passengers who are NON SWIMMERS will not be able to participate in snorkelling and in water activities while on a Wings charter
ALL PASSENGERS THAT WISH TO PARTICIPATE IN SNORKELLING AND IN WATER ACTIVITIES, MUST ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THEY ARE ABLE TO SWIM. POOR SWIMMERS WILL BE GIVEN A FLOTATION AID. NON SWIMMERS CANNOT PARTICIPATE IN WATER ACTIVITIES.
Dangerous jellyfish / marine creatures (including sharks and crocodiles) can inhabit the waters of the Whitsundays. We recommend you take out travel insurance. Clients should note that adventure travel involves risk, whilst we make every effort to safeguard our guests, we cannot be responsible for any damage, personal injury or loss due to the actions of passengers out of our control. Passengers entering the water do so at their own risk.
Owners of the vessels or operators will not be liable for any personal injury, illness, death or any other consequence whatsoever of passengers being stung by poisonous marine creatures. To minimise this risk we recommend that you wear a full length protective suit 'wet suit' whilst swimming & snorkelling during the charter. Sharkbanz are also provided on a Wings vessel and we recommend the use of these.
Accordingly, Wings shall not be liable for any loss or damage whatsoever which is suffered (including but not limited to indirect or consequential loss) or for any injury to person or property which is suffered or sustained by any passenger as a result of participating in any Wings charter, except for any liability which cannot be excluded by law.
A passenger on board a domestic commercial vessel must take reasonable care for his or her own safety; and comply with any reasonable and lawful directions of the master or a member of the crew of the vessel, non compliance constitutes an offence under Australian law.
A passenger must not interfere with or misuse anything provided on the vessel in the interests of the safety of the vessel. Unauthorised use of vessel equipment including tenders, stand up paddle boards & kayaks is deemed as unacceptable behaviour and will result in the end of charter then returning to port- no refunds
A passenger must not unreasonably place at risk the safety of another person or crew.
A passenger must not prevent or restrict the master of the vessel from making or implementing a decision that, in the professional opinion of the master, is necessary for the safety of a person or the vessel.
Passengers who threaten or assault other passengers or crew will be removed from the vessel and can be passed on to police at the return to port
Extreme drunk and disorderly behaviour may also result in the vessel having to return to port and is strictly unacceptable.
Any damages to property to be paid by the charterer in full
We require a 20 % deposit of the full charter cost to secure your selected date. Full payment is then required 6 weeks prior to departure via the credit card payment link or by direct bank transfer.
