Its good news too, CORONA VIRUS CAN’T BEAT US, WE ARE BACK IN BUSINESS! We are now taking bookings for next weekend. We are allowed to operate as long as we follow the safety directives put out by the health department. social distancing is the biggest hurdle on a boat to overcome, so to maintain 4 square meters, passenger numbers will be capped at 6 people for the time being. Following the guidelines will include what we were doing before we shut down back in march plus some new ones to keep our staff and passengers safe.
Processes in place will be –

1. SOCIAL DISTANCING (top priority and will be enforced)
2. INCREASED CLEANING REGIME (Common areas and touch points).
3. EXTRA HAND WASH STATION (Staff and passengers will be reminded of good hygiene practices and extra hand sanitizer and soap will be provided)
4. HEALTH AND TRAVEL QUESTIONS WILL BE ASKED
   (anyone with flu symptoms will not participate and if any Aussies return from overseas cannot participate until they have quarantined).
5. COVID SAFE APP (Staff will be required to download the app to ensure we are not putting anyone at risk and customers will be encouraged to do the same).
6. OUR MAXIMUM PASSENGER NUMBER OF 6 (to adhere to social distancing requirements).
7. FOOD SUPPLIED WILL STOP (Customers will have to bring their own food for the time being to eliminate risk. Bottled water and cans of soft drink will still be supplied).

We are relying on the local support for the time being and are confident the 10 years of service, building relationships and clientele, will get us through until we return to normal operation. We do still have the costs to cover and 6 people at our normal prices wont do it, so until we can take 12 people again the following prices will be in effect;

NEW PRICING:

• Half day (5hrs) – $175
• 3/4 day (7hrs) – $215
• Full day (9 hrs) -$255

We are in the process of updating the prices on our website and online booking platform. As always the trip is subject to weather and now to getting the 6 passengers to cover the expenses. We are optimistic about the future again and I couldn’t be in a happier space today.GOOD ON YOU AUSTRALIA! AND ESPECIALLY QLD! We are beating this. ONWARDS AND UPWARDS FROM HERE.

Due to demand we have decided to start “whale watching” tours on board Top Catch.  These will run through the whale season mid Jue to end of September while the majestic whales migrate through our beautiful waters.  We offer small groups (maximum 12 passengers) the chance to see whales migrating in their pods and showing their young how to enjoy themselves by splashing and jumping around.  To take advantage of these up close and personal tours please give us a call or book online.

Hi all its been a while since our last post, some typical Easter weather, but good to be back on the water recently and hopefully we start to see our winter weather pattern start to kick in!!! Some great fish caught when we have been out and I guess the rest/break our reefs have received from rec fishing has done the area the world of good. There were big numbers of squire caught, just over and just under legal size so it’s looking like a good winter coming too…. Bring it on!!

Unfortunately rising prices, the cost of living and inflation are a part of the modern world. So after 7 years of service and a massive increase in the price of our expenses (fuel, insurances, bait, maitanence, etc.) we will be SLIGHTLY increasing our prices. As of the 1st July 2018 our 1/2 day charters will now be $150 p/p, our 3/4 day charter $190 p/p and our full day $230 p/p. all bookings made before this date will be charged at the current rate. We hope everybody understands and look forward to providing the same great product!!!
