Guest Numbers

The upper limit of the advertised passenger count is the maximum number of people the vessels are licensed for, and exceeding this limit by even one person would be illegal.

While the boats may feel snug at full capacity, once everyone settles into the various zones of the boats, any concerns about space quickly fade away. We've never received complaints about insufficient room, but we wanted to flag that the lower end of the advertised passenger count can provide a more relaxed and comfortable experience for some.

Please be aware that all vendors (musicians, photographers, chefs, etc.) must be included in the licensed capacity head count.

The Zephyr Captain and Hostesses do NOT count as part of your passengers.

Am I able to BYO food or decorations?

Yes, you're welcome to bring and arrange your own food or decorations of flowers on board. However, due to the nature of our operations and tight turnaround times between charters, there’s a specific process that must be followed. Please reach out to us for the full rundown.

A few important points to note:

▸Due to the limited time between charters, our crew is focused on resetting the boat to ensure everything is perfect for the groups arrival, so they’re unable to assist with arrangement of any BYO food or styling.

▸A maximum of two people may board early for your BYO food or styling setup.

▸We’re unable to accept deliveries or store items prior to your charter date.

Are you able to pick up from alternative wharves around Pittwater, or is strictly Newport wharf?

We will always strive to accommodate everyone’s needs as best as we can.

If you’d like to arrange a different pick-up location within Pittwater, please get in touch so we can first check if the ability of the wharf and water depth can safely accommodate our vessel.

Please note, there is a $100 fee for pick-up from an alternative wharf.

Are children allowed on the boat?

Yes children are allowed.

If your style of event is a party and have a young baby attending we highly recommend getting them a pair of “baby ear muffs” to wear as the music usually gets quite loud.

What happens if its raining on the day?

We have a wet weather set up on the boat, with lounges undercover and rain proof walls that roll down and are secured to keep you and your guests dry!

Your captain will also find a sheltered area on Pittwater to protect you and your guests from the elements.

We guarantee you will have a great time Rain Hail or Shine!

We would not cancel the charter unless it is deemed unsafe by the captain which has never happened before!

Do you have speakers on the boat?

Do you supply drinking water?

Can we wear shoes?

Do you guys pick up from outside of the Pittwater (e.g. SYDNEY Harbour or Manly?

Can we go swimming?
