$600 ($1000 over Christmas, New Years and Easter hires) payable to us within 3 days to confirm your booking. Payments can be made via Visa or Mastercard over the phone or a cheque or money order in the mail.

Final Payment: 

Due to the nature of the houseboat industry, we only accept pre-payments of final balances and do not work on a bill back basis. 

The final payment is to be received as a total amount (no individual payments) no later than 8 weeks prior to departure. 

Security Bond: 

$800, $900 or $1000 – payable by cash only on boarding.  This will be refunded by mail, less fuel costs (unleaded and diesel), ice and/or firewood costs, when the boat is returned on time in good order and condition. The expenses will be deducted with the balance if applicable being returned to you with 10 working days after the completion of your hire. If you exceed the bond paid you will receive a tax invoice with the amount outstanding to be paid. Damage or loss will be charged for.

Cancellations:

Where cancellations occur we will re-advertise the booking, if we are successful in re-selling these dates the deposit will be refunded to you less an administration fee. If we cannot rebook the craft for that period, you may forfeit all monies paid.
