CHARTER COSTS
What you will be looking to pay when you book a private charter:
- Hire fee, usually quoted on an hourly basis. This gives you sole use of the vessel for your private function, and generally includes the hire of the skipper and some crew. You would expect to pay minimum $500 per hour to hire a vessel privately in Sydney, depending on the size of the party.
- Catering for your function, usually quoted on a per head basis. Finger food can start at $25 per head, up to sit down a la carte silver service at $100 per head. If you are looking for something specific in the catering, you can expect that this will be quoted separately and pricing subject to your requirements.
- Beverages for your guests; some beverages like tea & coffee may be provided or even a glass of champagne, depending on the type of charter, as included in the hire. Most hires will offer a per head package for the duration of the cruise or a bar tab on consumption arrangement.
- Relocation Fee in some cases; in the instance that the vessel is to pick up and drop of in a location that the vessel is not based.
- In some cases, if you require the vessel to pick up and drop off at a location that the vessel is not based, a berthing fee may be required.
- There may be some additional charges including; decorating, additional wait staff, public holiday surcharges, BYO surcharges (if allowed by the Operator), bond (in very few cases), entertainment & some onboard activities.
