Travel Insurance

All charter fees are due and non-refundable 90 days prior to your charter commencement.

Whitsunday Escape has sourced relevant Travel Insurance Policies for your convenience but you should always check the PDS to see if it meets your requirements:

Security Bond

As a condition of the boat owners insurance, we require a security bond to be lodged. This is processed as a pre-authorisation on a credit card. The pre-authorisation freezes the availability on your credit card and no money is withdrawn from your account, however you do need to have this sum available in your account for the pre-authorisation to be possible. If the boat is damaged we will then withdraw the money from your account. The most you are liable for is $4000.

Please note that the security bond is a condition of your charter.  It is not a type of travel insurance nor does taking travel insurance waive this charge.
