OTHER INFORMATION

Introducing.....The Vessels 

  • Poseidon
Sharing the passion for snorkelling and scuba diving with over 25 years of experience ensures that Poseidon visits only the best possible sites, as reef quality can vary greatly. The first Poseidon commenced operation in Port Douglas in 1994 taking 30 passengers cruising daily to the Great Barrier Reef. Seeing the demand for a faster, more comfortable vessel, Poseidon II was built in 1997 and increased the carrying capacity to 48 passengers. In April 2001, Poseidon III was launched replacing Poseidon II. This ultra modern vessel features many improvements and refinements. Limited passenger numbers ensures personal comfort and individual attention.

Poseidon has access to the best reef locations with over 45 sites to choose from. Three spectacular sites are visited each day. The Agincourt Ribbon Reefs, located on the very outer edge of the reef, are renowned as the place to go for crystal clear water, spectacular coral gardens and a huge variety of marine life.
  • Shaolin
Enjoy the classic ambience of this truly unique vessel. An authentic Chinese junk sailing to the Great Barrier Reef from Port Douglas Australia. Commissioned by an admiral and built from teak in Hong Kong, she cruised the South China Sea for 16 years, sailing around the world twice before Port Douglas became her home.

Shaolin has been operating for over 21 years and is the longest running charter boat in ‘Port’, laced with history and charm.  After a refit and a change of purpose, the popular Low Isles experience became a “must do”.

Shaolin is beautifully maintained and provides the perfect platform to enjoy a day of activity and relaxation with spacious comfortable areas for all to enjoy.
A unique and classic experience with Shaolin.......you won't be able to resist her charm!

Terms of booking on this website

Information disclaimer
The rates on this website are often heavily discounted. This is due to our negotiated rates and bulk buying power. On very rare occasions, a rate may be displayed incorrectly due to our, or a supplier's error. In such a case, if you book with us at a quoted rate that is incorrect, we will notify you of any price change and give you the option to proceed or cancel. We make every effort to keep information on our site up to date, but we cannot guarantee this website is free of errors or omissions and retain the right to update or change the information published at any time.

Liability
To the extent permitted by law we/the owners of this website will not be liable to you or to any third party (whether in contract, tort, or otherwise) for any direct, indirect or consequential loss or damage (including but not limited to any accident, injury, delay or loss of enjoyment) arising out of your reliance upon information contained on this website, including but not limited to your use (or inability to use) any products or services described or procured through this website.

On departure day, before you commence your trip, you may be required to sign a rental agreement (in the case of boat charters) with the supplier of the vessel. Your rental and use of the vessel will be governed by the terms of the rental agreement and any other documentation or information provided to you by the supplier at the time you pick up your vessel. The rental agreement is between you and the supplier and we will not be liable to you or to any third party in relation to the terms of the supplier rental agreement or any other documentation provided to you by the supplier at the time of pick up.

While we will make reasonable efforts to ensure we are representing only reputable suppliers, we make no warranty about the fitness or suitability of any third party (supplier) product or service and will not accept responsibility for the quality or fitness of any vessel. We welcome feedback from our customers on their experience with our suppliers. We may, at our discretion, provide you with reasonable assistance in resolving any dispute you may have with a supplier.

Your use of this website is governed by the laws of New Zealand and the jurisdiction of the New Zealand courts.

Booking information
To make a booking, you must complete our no-obligations reservations enquiry form which is easy to follow and secured with the latest encryption technology. Once we receive your enquiry, we will contact you via phone or email, to advise of availability and confirm the final price is correct - and discuss payment options. A booking is confirmed when you have been emailed a confirmation notice and at this stage the deposit is processed on your credit card and becomes non-refundable and any cancellation fees stated in the terms apply. Upon receipt of your confirmation, please check your details carefully and notify us immediately if there are any incorrect details, as it may not be possible to make changes at a later date.

Please note we accept Visa and Mastercard and the credit card fees are:

Information disclosure
In booking on this website you acknowledge that we disclose your information to your selected Supplier in order to provide the requested rental, trip or charter services.

Amendments
Please check the terms of each vessel to see whether amendment fees apply. Please also note that for some vessels an amendment is treated as a new booking and the rate current at the time the amendment is made to recalculate the entire booking amount (not just the days changed). In the case of boat rental/yacht charter, if the hire or number of days is increased, an additional deposit may be required, while reduction in rental periods or price may reduce the total, but the deposit amount will remain unchanged.

Vessel Capacity and fitness to charter (for Bareboats only)
Under no circumstances are you permitted to carry more passengers than the vessel you charter is legally registered to carry, and if you do your insurance may be invalidated. The number of passengers allowed is indicated next to each vessel on this website. It is your responsibility to choose a journey that is within your capabilities. A boat or trip supplier can refuse to hire a vessel to any person who is in their opinion unfit to skipper or does not meet eligibility requirements. In such circumstances we will have no further liability to you.
