Trip Planning Information
THE WHITSUNDAY
Lying in the tropics, close to 20º South and cooled by the trade winds for most of the year, the Whitsundays have an excellent climate. The waters are protected by the Coral Sea and Great Barrier Reef and most islands are surrounded by a fringing reef system. Seasons tend to be dictated by school holidays rather than weather, so some of the best sailing can be found in the off-peak periods. Summers are warm with frequent rain showers and winters are said by many to be the perfect climate - warm by day and cool by night. The trade winds usually blow slightly stronger from May to August. July is the coolest time, January the warmest. And cyclones, if they do occur, are most likely between February and March. Good anchorages are plentiful and varied.
THE ANCHORAGE
The Whitsundays have enough anchorages to keep you busy for months of happy cruising! So you can include some on your itinerary, here are a few of the Operator's favourites with recommended snorkelling sites either at your anchorage or just a short dinghy ride away. The seven resort islands in the Whitsunday also welcome visiting yachts. A reasonable fee includes a mooring or marina berth and the freedom to enjoy the guest facilities of the resort. Each island resort's ambience and facilities is different and that means more variety for you!

Whale Season
Humpback whales are throughout the Whitsundays in these months, many with newborn calves. Listen for their songs while snorkelling and be on the watch for their spouts and breaching when sailing. Don't be surprised if they even come into the anchorage, especially around the northern islands. You could watch a display right at the back of your boat like this photo - this mother and calf photo was taken in Blue Pearl Bay.
Fishing
FISHING IN THE GREAT BARRIER REEF MARINE PARK
For those in the know, fishing around the Whitsundays can be very fruitful. For those not so knowledgeable, it can simply be fun to drop a line & see what happens. Having said that, there are many rules and regulations to abide by and it is advisable to get the latest updates by visiting www.dpi.qld.gov.au/fishweb
The information contained in this webpage is gained from many different sources and is by no means complete and is only to be used as a basic guide. You should do your own research before embarking on your fishing trip as changes to legislation, etc may occur.
What type of fish can you expect to catch in the Whitsundays?
Bluefin and Mackeral are in abundance all year round. They can usually be located by the sight of seabirds skipping over the surface of the water where the tuna are. Casting or trolling around the headlands and in the passages between the islands should also land you a few good tuna for dinner.
There is excellent estuary fishing to be found in Gulnare inlet, Hill inlet, Nara and Macona inlets.
Coral Reef Fishing can provide the likes of Coral Trout, Sweetlip, Emporers, Gropers etc.
Before visiting the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park, it is important you study the zoning map for the area you are visiting to be sure of the activities that you can do and where you can do them. A link to the zoning map is below:
http://www.gbrmpa.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/10675/mpz_10.pdf
Why do we have closed seasons?
Closed seasons prevent people from fishing at certain times of the year to protect species at vulnerable times in their life cycle, such as during spawning seasons.
Barramundi
Throughout the Queensland East Coast, a closed season applies to Barramundi from midday on the 1st November to midday 1st February.
There are 3 x nine day periods that have been implemented as closed seasons for the taking of all coral reef fish. These are October, November and December each year around the new moon phases. The closures apply to all Queensland East Coast waters between latitude 10°41´S and 24°50´S. The closures are designed to protect spawning aggregations of most Coral Reef Fish Species.
The closures for 2008 will be:
* 22 October 2008 to 30 October 2008 (inclusive)
* 21 November 2008 to 29 November 2008 (inclusive)
* 21 December 2008 to 29 December 2008 (inclusive).

The Operator shall not be liable for loss of personal property and goods of the Charterer whilst on the Operator's property or boats.

Any excesses in connection with claims made under the policy may be debited by the Operator against the Charterer. In case of loss, accident breakdown, or a disaster, the Charterer shall give immediate notice to the Operator and shall not except to the extent necessary to avert or minimise damage or a loss of the Boat, attempt repairs without authorisation of the Operator.
19. Insurance Limitations
The insurance cover on the Boat does not usually cover Charterer negligence. The Charterer is liable for all damages or loss caused by him or other members of the charter party arising through his or any of the Charterer's party's negligence or incurred by malicious or willful acts of the Charterer or members of the Charterer's party. The Charterer's liability extends to the Operator and other parties to the full cost of making good any loss or damage. The damage waiver payment in clause 3 in no way reduces the Charterer's party's liability arising from negligence or incurred by malicious or willful acts. The Operator recommends that the Charterer effect Charterer negligence insurance and appropriate travel insurance.
20. Indemnity
The Charterer shall indemnify, reimburse and hold the Operator harmless from and against any acts and all claims, losses, liabilities, demands, suits, judgement or causes or actions and all legal proceedings whether civil or criminal, penalties, fines and other sanctions and any other costs and expenses in connection which may result from, or arise in any manner out of any matter related to this charter agreement or arise out of the management, control, encumbering use or operation of the Boat by the Charterer. No claim of any nature shall be brought against the Operator by the Charterer or any of the charter party and the Charterer agrees that he shall indemnify the Operator in respect of any amount paid by the Operator in respect of any such claim.
21. Damage
If the charterer damages the vessel to the extent the charter cannot continue, the owner is not liable to pay any refunds, compensation or replace the vessel with another. The charterer may take out insurance to cover this event.
22. Inoperable Boat
In the event that in the reasonable opinion of the Operator the Boat becomes inoperable during the Charter Period through action or inaction of the Charterer or any of his party the operator may at its option terminate this agreement and retain all charter fees paid. The Operator may then at its option offer a further charter to the Charterer on another vessel. The Charterer shall if he accepts the offer then pay another damage waiver and all costs of a further charter including the charter fee.
23. Water Sports
The Operator and its insurance underwriters shall not be liable for accidents, injuries or death due to: swimming; windsurfing; the use of the Boat's dingy and outboard engine; or the use of snorkels, masks, fins or scuba equipment whether supplied by the Operator or otherwise. The user of the equipment referred to in this clause must ascertain that they are experienced, qualified and capable of using the equipment and the equipment is suitable and in good condition for the purpose for which it will be used and for the person using it.
24. Radio Arrangements
The Charterer agrees to contact the Operator's base on or within such time as the Operator may at its discretion stipulate to the Charterer including each morning and afternoon on each day of the charter period and furnish necessary details of the Boat's position, intended plans for the day and intended anchorage position for that evening. In the event that the Charterer fails to so notify and contact the Operator's base on any two consecutive schedule periods, then that Charterer shall be responsible for all costs or expenses incurred by the Operator in searching for the Charterer including but not limited to, the hire of aircraft or other means of transport.
25. Government Fees and Future Taxes
Charterers pay a fee per person (over the age of 4 years) on arrival in cash for costs of the use of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park. The Charterer shall also pay and discharge without exception all taxes, charges, assessments and outgoings and impositions relating to the charter imposed by or under federal or state law, or by federal, state or local authorities and whether on a capital or revenue basis or any other basis and even though of a novel character which may at any time be introduced during the period from execution of this agreement to the end of the charter period.
26. Non-Assignment
The Charterer shall not assign or sub-charter his interest in the Boat without the prior written consent of the Operator. The Operator may assign its rights under this agreement.
27. Applicable Law
This agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Queensland and the Commonwealth of Australia and any dispute arising or relating to the agreement or the charter shall be referred to the courts of Queensland and be heard at the nearest relevant court, being the Magistrates Court at Proserpine, the District Court at Bowen or the Supreme Court at Mackay.

Provisioning
Do you want the most hassle free start to your holiday?
Do you want someone else to take all the legwork out of your shopping and free up your time for the most important things?
It is recommended that you choose a provisioning package through their providers, Whitsunday Provisioning. They will provide you with the freshest produce and top quality meats and all of this is stored away on board your vessel for your arrival.
You can choose between a package where 3 main meals are catered for along with snacks and nibbles or you can plan your own menu and choose your items from the self select list provided on the website. Should you wish to eat at some island resorts during your holiday, then perhaps a partial package should be considered where every third main meal is not catered for.
The team at Whitsunday Provisioning have been stocking boats for holiday makers for the past 20 years and have vast experience with quantities and items suitable for all your galley needs.

Information disclaimer
The rates on this website are often heavily discounted. This is due to our negotiated rates and bulk buying power. On very rare occasions, a rate may be displayed incorrectly due to our, or a supplier's error. In such a case, if you book with us at a quoted rate that is incorrect, we will notify you of any price change and give you the option to proceed or cancel. We make every effort to keep information on our site up to date, but we cannot guarantee this website is free of errors or omissions and retain the right to update or change the information published at any time.
Liability
To the extent permitted by law we/the owners of this website will not be liable to you or to any third party (whether in contract, tort, or otherwise) for any direct, indirect or consequential loss or damage (including but not limited to any accident, injury, delay or loss of enjoyment) arising out of your reliance upon information contained on this website, including but not limited to your use (or inability to use) any products or services described or procured through this website.
On departure day, before you commence your trip, you may be required to sign a rental agreement (in the case of boat charters) with the supplier of the vessel. Your rental and use of the vessel will be governed by the terms of the rental agreement and any other documentation or information provided to you by the supplier at the time you pick up your vessel. The rental agreement is between you and the supplier and we will not be liable to you or to any third party in relation to the terms of the supplier rental agreement or any other documentation provided to you by the supplier at the time of pick up.
While we will make reasonable efforts to ensure we are representing only reputable suppliers, we make no warranty about the fitness or suitability of any third party (supplier) product or service and will not accept responsibility for the quality or fitness of any vessel. We welcome feedback from our customers on their experience with our suppliers. We may, at our discretion, provide you with reasonable assistance in resolving any dispute you may have with a supplier.
Our total liability to you in relation to your use of this website and the information contained on this website will not exceed the dollar amount of the deposit we have received from you in relation to your booking/rental.

Your use of this website is governed by the laws of New Zealand and the jurisdiction of the New Zealand courts.
Booking information
To make a booking, you must complete our no-obligations reservations enquiry form which is easy to follow and secured with the latest encryption technology. Once we receive your enquiry, we will contact you via phone or email, to advise of availability and confirm the final price is correct - and discuss payment options. A booking is confirmed when you have been emailed a confirmation notice and at this stage the deposit is processed on your credit card and becomes non-refundable and any cancellation fees stated in the terms apply. Upon receipt of your confirmation, please check your details carefully and notify us immediately if there are any incorrect details, as it may not be possible to make changes at a later date.
Please note we accept Visa and Mastercard and the credit card fees are:
1) 1.75% for the deposit amount.

Information disclosure
In booking on this website you acknowledge that we disclose your information to your selected Supplier in order to provide the requested rental, trip or charter services.
Amendments
Please check the terms of each vessel to see whether amendment fees apply. Please also note that for some vessels an amendment is treated as a new booking and the rate current at the time the amendment is made to recalculate the entire booking amount (not just the days changed). In the case of boat rental/yacht charter, if the hire or number of days is increased, an additional deposit may be required, while reduction in rental periods or price may reduce the total, but the deposit amount will remain unchanged.
Vessel Capacity and fitness to charter (for Bareboats only)
Under no circumstances are you permitted to carry more passengers than the vessel you charter is legally registered to carry, and if you do your insurance may be invalidated. The number of passengers allowed is indicated next to each vessel on this website. It is your responsibility to choose a journey that is within your capabilities. A boat or trip supplier can refuse to hire a vessel to any person who is in their opinion unfit to skipper or does not meet eligibility requirements. In such circumstances we will have no further liability to you.
Insurance Information
INSURANCE
The Boat chartered is customarily insured for the charter period as protection against any accidental loss or damage that may occur, or be caused by, the Boat during the charter period so long as the Boat remains in the cruising limits and perimeters established in clause 7 and is operated in compliance in all the terms and conditions of this agreement. Any excesses in connection with claims made under the policy may be debited by the Operator against the Charterer. In case of loss, accident breakdown, or a disaster, the Charterer shall give immediate notice to the Operator and shall not except to the extent necessary to avert or minimise damage or a loss of the Boat, attempt repairs without authorisation of the Operator.
INSURANCE LIMITATIONS
The insurance cover on the Boat does not usually cover Charterer negligence. The Charterer is liable for all damages or loss caused by him or other members of the charter party arising through his or any of the Charterer's party's negligence or incurred by malicious or wilful acts of the Charterer or members of the Charterer's party. The Charterer's liability extends to the Operator and other parties to the full cost of making good any loss or damage. The damage waiver payment in clause 3 in no way reduces the Charterer's party's liability arising from negligence or incurred by malicious or wilful acts. The Operator recommends that the Charterer effect Charterer negligence insurance and appropriate travel insurance.
INDEMNITY
The Charterer shall indemnify, reimburse and hold the Operator harmless from and against any acts and all claims, losses, liabilities, demands, suits, judgement or causes or actions and all legal proceedings whether civil or criminal, penalties, fines and other sanctions and any other costs and expenses in connection which may result from, or arise in any manner out of any matter related to this charter agreement or arise out of the management, control, encumbering use or operation of the Boat by the Charterer. No claim of any nature shall be brought against the Operator by the Charterer or any of the charter party and the Charterer agrees that he shall indemnify the Operator in respect of any amount paid by the Operator in respect of any such claim.
DAMAGE
If the charterer damages the vessel to the extent the charter cannot continue, the owner is not liable to pay any refunds, compensation or replace the vessel with another. The charterer may take out insurance to cover this event.
INOPERABLE BOAT
In the event that in the reasonable opinion of the Operator the Boat becomes inoperable during the Charter Period through action or inaction of the Charterer or any of his party the operator may at its option terminate this agreement and retain all charter fees paid. The Operator may then at its option offer a further charter to the Charterer on another vessel. The Charterer shall if he accepts the offer then pay another damage waiver and all costs of a further charter including the charter fee.
DAMAGE WAIVER:
Damage Waiver Insurance $180, $300, $400 (depending on vessel size) + refundable bond of $500.00 refunded within 7 days completion of charter - $650.00 waiver plus bond $2500.00 for the Fountaine Pajot 46 Power Cat.
Please note all Damage Waivers are non-refundable and clients are to leave a $500 fully refundable credit card bond on arrival.
