Day Chartering Costs

What you will expect to pay when you book a private day charter for your corporate event?

To charter a vessel privately (exclusively) for your function only on a day basis (minimum 3 to 6 hour stretches), you would expect to pay:

• Hire fee, usually quoted on an hourly basis. This gives you sole use of the vessel for your private function, and generally includes the hire of the skipper and some crew. You would expect to pay minimum $500 per hour to hire a vessel privately here on the Gold Coast, depending on the size of the party.
• Catering for your function, usually quoted on a per head basis. Finger food can start at $25 per head, up to sit down a la carte silver service at $100 per head or more. If you are looking for something specific in the catering, you can expect that this will be quoted separately and pricing subject to your requirements.
