NO-GO means 'we don't go if these are being brought on board'.

DIETS - Diets present a huge problem. Given the space and limited refrigeration, we cannot cater to Vegan, Vegetarian or gluten-free diets. Regarding other diets and/or allergies, please talk to us prior to committing to the trip. If it's mutually agreed, we will endeavour to accomodate your request.

We multi-use pots and cutting boards. We have nuts, meat, chicken, and fish on board. Given our type of sailing and storage, we are very dependent on processed, dried and tinned foods. We carry enough dry stores for 2-people for two weeks, in case of any variation to sailing plans. Outside this, our preference is to bulk buy for the trip and we all split this final cost.

Please talk to us about what you are bringing on board before you purchase any items as refrigeration and freezer space is a premium, and cannot be sectioned off for one person's space.

We are legally bound to have a strong protocol on alcohol, pest, vermin, and rubbish control to comply with State, Territory and International regulations. This includes the storage of any food types in the rooms.

Yacht Personal Effects Insurance - specifically excludes mobile phones, items of jewellery, valuables (items which have a market value significantly in excess of the cost of manufacture), cameras, personal computers, drones, money, credit cards, travellers’ cheques and consumable stores. Please be clear on this information.

Drug Items & associated Paraphernalia - No-go items (as defined under Australian illicit drugs, including all cigarette types).

SHOES ONBOARD - We have a 'NO SHOE' policy. This includes the back steps and in the dingy. If for some medical reason you need to wear shoes in the dingy or on the yacht, please advise us prior to committing to the trip. If it's mutually agreed, then only wear separate white-soled (soft rubber) footwear, that is kept for use on the yacht only. 

SHOES and getting onboard - please remove your shoes and rinse the sand from your feet prior to getting onboard. A fresh water in the bucket is provided for a final feet rinse. 

SHOES DINGY - Please check your foot soles each time BEFORE YOU BOARD THE DINGY that they are sand free. It's best to leave your beach shoes in the dingy.

SHOES CORAL & BEACHES - Off the yacht, saltwater tolerant footwear is essential. These are also left in the dingy. As an example, we carry one pair each of thongs, runners, and coral booties, the latter being the most worn and left in the dingy. 

We always have a bucket of water (to rinse feet and hands) at the steps. This is prevent sand and coral coming onboard.

Other NO-GO Items:
- Hairdryers and Irons,
- Pets,

Lifejackets for children - children, are classed as non-adult people that cannot effectively don and self-utilise an adult PFD-1 type lifejacket. Given departure time constraints, this must be assessed and addressed days before planned arrival.
