BOND PAYMENTS: Are held for 7 days after the charter. Credit card bonds are authorised but not charged on a process called 'Pre Auth'. This will not be converted into a sale unless the boat is damaged or any claim for damage or injury is notified or made. Bareboat bonds are double for charters on New Year's Eve, Boxing Day, Australia Day or when the yachts are involved in racing.
INCLEMENT OR UNSAFE WEATHER: EastSail determines the suitability of conditions and the possibility of postponement on the day of the charter. In the case of an approved postponement, the deposit will be held by EastSail for a future booking, minus a 10% administration fee plus the full amount of any catering and crew fees. The remaining deposit will be held for 6 months to be put towards another charter, after which it shall be forfeited and no application of that amount will be available in any circumstances. Refunds are not available.
VESSEL: EastSail reserves the right to change a charterer's booked vessel to another vessel of similar size and / or style as possible or cancel or postpone any booking.

CAR PARKING: Parking can be difficult around the water front. In the surrounding streets generally one side of the road offers unrestricted parking and the other side is limited to 2 hours.
