Terms and Conditions:
The vessel is strictly non-smoking. Bay sail with course depending on weather conditions and at the Captain’s discretion. Currently, there is no lift access to the level one lounge. Access is via the internal or external staircases, so moderate mobility is required. We require confirmation of any special dietary requirements at least 10 days before the event. We can cater for vegetarian, gluten-free and dairy-free requirements. Please be aware that foods are prepared in an environment that may contain traces of other allergens. In the case of severe anaphylactic food allergies, the kitchen cannot guarantee food safety in these cases due to the operational handling of a wide variety of food products. As this is a ticketed fundraising event, not a direct donation to a charity, tickets are not tax-deductible, and GST applies. 100% of net proceeds will be distributed across the 11 supported community organisations. Silent auction items are subject to change.
