hire conditions
Water, boats & weather add up to a potentially dangerous combination. If you do not have a reasonable amount of experience, for your safety & others, unfortunately we may not be willing to hire the boat out. A Recreational Skippers Ticket is required for hire however a Recreational Skippers Ticket doesn’t necessarily mean you have enough experience to drive one of our boats. Our boats are hired out on the receipt of a $500 booking fee, which will go toward the hire of the boat on the day - bookings can be made by phone or email.
Boats will be allocated on a first come first served basis. Once a booking deposit has been received, boats will be held exclusively for your right of use as the Hirer.
Full payment for the period of hire & bond must be received prior to the commencement of the Hire with cash or bank transfer. Cheques will not be accepted.
Boats are supplied full of fuel and must be returned the same. Boats must be cleaned prior to return. Fees applicable if these requirements are not met.
Boats must be returned by 6pm on the last day of hire, otherwise this will incur a $200 late fee.
Damage to the boats, motors, trailer or loss of equipment will be borne by the Hirer. Bond to be held during hire is $1000. Damage is covered by insurance however, an additional $500 excess applies if the repair to the damage is greater than the bond. Some minor repairs may need to be quoted prior to the bond being refunded.

Cancellations
If a booking is cancelled within 4 weeks of hire, and the boat is not re-hired during that period, the deposit/bond will be lost. If the boat is re-booked for the full period or longer, full refund, less $25 (Bank & Admin fees) will be given. Any cancellation at any time will incur a $25 surcharge.
Once hire has commenced, there will be no refund, for early return or for any other reason unless another booking is received over the hire period. Any and all refunds will be under the discretion of West Coast Boat Hire & Charter.
