FAQ’s

Moreton Bay is quite a big expanse of water, and on some days it can get rough.  Even on calm days, if you are susceptible to seasickness you may feel unwell.  Our advice is that if you are in doubt, you should seek advice on medication from a pharmacist and take that medicine well before you get on the boat, so it has time to work.  Also, please let the boat crew know as soon as you feel a little unwell and we can put you in a calmer seat and keep an eye on you.  Most people get seasick at some time in their lives, so please don’t be embarrassed about telling us.  Please be aware, once out on the bay, we cannot bring you back in at the expense of the rest of the boat.

While this is not a thrill ride, our boats travel at speed and the water is sometimes choppy making for a bouncy ride.  While the seats are safe and comfortable, the motion could aggravate an existing back condition.  Similarly, some activities are strenuous and not suitable to be undertaken by people with heart conditions. If you are pregnant, you should consult your doctor before intending to ride for their advice.  While we don’t have in place blanket exclusions, you must let us know if you have any condition that may affect your ability to safely participate in the tour.  We reserve the right to refuse to take you in the interests of your own health and safety.

Bring a small backpack or the like as storage space is minimal.  You’ll need comfortable clothes, hat, water bottle sunglasses, swimming attire, flip flops, sunscreen, and a towel.  In winter months something warmer as well as the wind can be quite cold.  You’ll also need some cash for onboard purchases.
