Great Barrier Reef Environmental Management Charge fee of AUD$39pp must be added to all overnight sailing holidays. The wearing of Stinger Suites is compulsory - Suits can be hired at check-in for $15pp. All prices are in Australian Dollars and are inclusive of GST and exclusive of other Government Taxes and levies.

Sailing still remains one of the few methods of transportation that is virtually carbon neutral. Nevertheless, to generate power for onboard electricity and to ensure that vessels can maintain speed when there is little or adverse wind, it is necessary to run engines and generators. There is a surcharge of $4 per person to cover the increased fuel costs.

Cancellations made less than 21 days before departure will result in complete forfeiture of full price.
