ADDITIONAL SERVICES - in more detail

On-board Accommodation*: $30 per person and $15 per under 16 yrs.

This enables you to stay on board your boat in its berth in the marina for the night before your charter, which starts at 1000hrs the next morning. Arrive here at the base between 1300 - 1600hrs, we'll meet you down at the boat and settle you in for a Safety, Loo's, Lights & LPG brief. You should have already read the PDF manual which is sent to you at the time of booking your charter. Then you and your crew can settle into the vessel for the evening and really familiarize yourself with all the vessels buttons, switches and systems as well as all the inventory and safety equipment. Then the next morning you receive a full "Safety & Systems" briefing starting no later than 0900hrs (usually 0830hrs) - we need your "1st Mate" present for this full briefing as well. The briefings can take from 1.25hrs to 2hrs to complete as we give a full area/moorings, safety and systems briefings for each vessel. You are then free to leave that morning. We do, when possible, complete the full briefing on the afternoon of arrival.

There is 1 restaurant, The Jolly Roger and the Waikawa Boating Club here in the marina only a short walk away. If you opt for this "onboard accommodation" option then your charter starts at 1000hrs and therefore handover is at 1000hrs on your final day.

Late arrivals: by prior arrangement and subject to availability. All briefings must begin no later than 1600hrs and any late arrivals after this will incur a "late arrival" fee of $55/hr. For example if you arrive at the office at 1730hrs then a late arrival fee of $82.50 would apply.

Extra Hours/Extensions: are available (up to 4 hrs) as an add on to any charter booked - by prior arrangement and subject to availability. If over 4 hrs then a full day rate is charged. How to work it out - divide the daily rate by 12 and that is the hourly rate for extra hours up to 4 hrs max. Please note that you will be charged a full day if you are more than 4 hrs from your original handover time.

Provisioning: Our base is in the Waikawa marina, approximately 5 minutes drive from Picton. There are "Fresh Choice" and a "Four Square" supermarkets in Picton. To save time on arrival we can arrange to have your provisions delivered prior to your arrival, just let us know and we'll send you a provisions list as a guide for ordering or send us a list (we use Four Square for this). There is a 10% surcharge with a minimum surcharge of $35 per order. There is a $40 loading fee for any deliveries to Compass Charters organised by yourselves (online shopping etc.)

Cleaning fee, bond maintenance and blocked heads/tanks: We ask for you to "bring the boat back as you found it" and appreciate that you are on holiday, so you can opt for our Compass Crew to clean your boat but we do charge for this service. Cleaning is charged at $50/hr, this usually takes between 1 and 3 hrs. Please let us know at time of booking if you would like us to clean the boat for you. NB: Any maintenance required due to any Bond issues is charged at $75/hr, unblocking of toilet and/or tanks is charged at $100/hr.

Relocation: Vessel relocations to/from Pelorus/Havelock for clients pre or post charter. Please contact us for a price. Indicative pricing - Vessel daily rate plus $500/day for the skipper plus travel costs for skipper to/from destination by road. Fuel is an additional cost, we will need to top up the fuel tanks after your charter and after the boat has been relocated. If you are towing runabouts then its your responsibility to ensure vehicle is adequate and fit for purpose including WOF of vehicle, tow bar size and lights all in working order etc. Relocations to other places also available. Please enquire for a more accurate costing. 

Rebooking fee: $250.00 - This applies to confirmed charters that want to change their dates and/or change the boat booked, subject to availability. Any reduction in charter length or charter value incurs a charter cancellation fee. Conditions apply.
