Do you offer BYO food and drink options on luxury boat hires?
For luxury boat hires, the standard is to have the cruise catered and many luxury boats don't allow BYO. This is essentially to ensure the experience really is a luxurious one and to let you put your feet up and concentrate on what really matters.
That said, if you have your heart set on BYO, there are a number of vessels that allow it, but they may charge a corking fee. If you do opt fot BYO, we recommend considering boat-friendly food and drink choices, favouring finger foods over items requiring utensils. Additionally, opting for cans and bottles over cocktails is advisable to prevent spillages and ensure a hassle-free celebration on the water.

What happens if there is rain or bad weather on the day of my cruise?
Regrettably, if it rains, your boat party will proceed, as outdoor activities in Sydney adhere to this policy across boat hire agencies. Many of our boats feature canopies, coverings, or are fully enclosed to shield guests from rain. It's advisable to check the weather beforehand and dress accordingly. If you fail to attend, 100% of your payment will be forfeited. Rain or shine, most groups thoroughly enjoy the experience. Only in cases where Maritime deems the weather hazardous do we consider a postponement rather than a refund so it's important you are clear on all our terms and conditions prior to booking.
