Prices

Our prices are in $AUD and include 10% GST. Prices can be subject to change due to seasonal variations, however once the tour is booked and paid, the price will not change.


Nasty Weather

Mother Nature is not to be reckoned with, and she can sometimes not play fairly. In the event she turns on a tantrum and the Bureau of Meteorology forecast is for heavy rain or dangerous wind conditions, your experience will be postponed and rescheduled. We like to reschedule expeditions within 3 months of the original booking date and to suit you. People visiting us from interstate or overseas may not be able to reschedule so a full refund will be available.


Cancellation

If you cancel a booked experience with 31 days or more notice, full payment will be refunded. If you cancel a booked experience with between 7 and 31 days notice, 50% of the full payment will be refunded. If you cancel your booked experience with less than 7 days notice, no refund will be
payable. 


Vessel

In the unlikely event that there is a technical or mechanical issue with the yacht that prevents us from sailing, Silver Sun Sailing will reschedule your experience to another date. If this is not possible for you, we will refund you the full fee.


Catering

You are welcome to BYO food and alcohol to compliment the catering we offer on board, but you will need to let us know what you would like to bring, to ensure we have sufficient refrigeration. We will enforce responsible consumption of alcohol to ensure everyone’s safety.


Swimming and Island Walking

The waters of Lake Macquarie are very inviting, and you are welcome to swim when the boat is at anchor or when we are close to the sand islands. Please note that our waterway is home to some beautiful creatures, and others that aren’t so friendly. If you leave the yacht to swim or explore the islands, you do so at your own risk.


Sustainability

Silver Sun Sailing respects the land and waterways in which we operate our business. Sometimes this may mean a slight deviation to set plans to ensure the safety and harmony of Mother Nature and her friends.
