We send a very informative and detailed Cruise info sheet to everybody that enquires about one of our trips, if you haven’t seen one yet let us know and we’ll get it straight to you.
Most of the other details are covered by the FAQ below, but if there is anything else you want to know just give us a call on 0425 123451 or drop us an email at  info@wetspotcharters.com.au

Where can our group depart from?

You have a range of jetties to choose from, typically we do not charge any extra for any jetty unless our schedule requires a long transit between two different charters. You can start and finish at any of the below jetties (please click for map):

In addition to those above other departure locations may also be available, please call us to discuss.

Can we smoke on your boatst?

Yes, you can smoke on all of our charter boats on the rear dive platforms. Smoking is not permitted within the vessels interior or back decks. Please ensure you use the butt bins provided.

Is there a certain type of footwear we should wear?

Casual soft shoes are best, but guests often come dressed to go out after the cruise so any kind of footwear is OK. On day trips most people will shed their shoes once they are on-board. High heels are fine but must be removed before going upstairs to the club deck and sunbeds on Nautica and Marine 1 & 2.

Can we have 1 or 2 extra passengers than the maximum passenger number?

Boats are licensed to carry a certain number of passengers and under no circumstances allowed to go over this maximum number. Depending upon how many boat crew are required on your event we may however add your waitresses, performers or DJ’s as staff providing sufficient crew capacity allows.

How do I make a booking?

Contact us or send us a online quotation and specify that you want to book. We will run you through all of the details of your booking by either phone or email. To secure the reservation a $1000 (premium vessels) or $500 (standard vessels) deposit if payable within 48hrs of making your booking. Please get your deposit in within this time, we cannot hold unpaid reservations beyond this period.

Are there any conditions to booking?

Yes, terms & conditions are in the information sheets sent to you after making an enquiry.

Is there a bond payable?

Yes – bucks and birthday parties, open ticketed events, and some other style of functions will attract a $1000 bond. The bond will be refunded after the vessel has been inspected, and we can take a hold over a credit card rather than you needing to organize a cash payment.

Does your fleet have toilets onboard?

All our boats have toilets, the bigger premium boats have spacious multiple bathrooms and separate crew cubicles.

Can you arrange alcoholic beverages for us?

Save yourself the hassle of lugging it down dragging it to the boat! Gate Bar and Bistro offers an exceptional service with bottle shop prices and will deliver free of charge. You can order any type of beverages, ice, softdrinks, and redbull. The crew will load it up and make sure everything is nice and cold the minute you board!

Call Nick Trolio on 0411 223 376

Can we bring our own alcoholic beverages?

You can bring BYO drinks on all of our boats including beer, wine and premix spirits such as any RTD or UDL’s. under the Charter Boat Liquor Accord you cannot bring straight bottles of spirits to mix yourself, shooters, or any device intended to intoxicate a user quickly.

Do we need to bring ice and glasses?

Yes please.  For ice 12 – 14 bags will be sufficient for groups around 60 – 70 guests. .

Do we need to bring an esky?

No all the boats have several iceboxes on-board. You won’t need to bring any additional eskies.

Can you help us organise food and catering?

Yes, we offer a basic BBQ for just $14 per head, a gourmet BBQ for $24 per head, up to full buffet and seafood banquets for $50 and over per person. Talk to us about catering to suit any kind of a budget.

Can we bring our own food?

You are more than welcome to organise your own food and we’ll be happy to assist you in its preparation – please note however we cannot cook for very large groups alone and will need some help.

If we organise our own catering what other things do we need to bring?

You should bring condiments and anything you would need at a normal everyday BBQ or lunch – ie tomato sauce, mayonnaise, salt, pepper, paper plates and napkins.

If we organise our own food, do we have to bring plates and cutlery?

Yes please be self sufficient for all items same as if you were going to a BBQ in your local park or in your own home. Disposable plates and cutlery are cheap and easy, and available from any major supermarket.

Is there a BBQ on board all of your fleet?

There are BBQ’s on board Nautica, Pia, Chiq and Marine 1. BBQ’s are not permitted on Marine 2 due to the complexity and cost of the installed sound and lighting system. We do have electric hotplates in the saloon but would prefer you cater with finger foods, platters and nibblies etc. We can reheat pizza or party pies etc in microwave ovens on Marine 2.

Can you supply hire equipment or entertainment?

We can arrange all extra equipment required to ensure your cruise is to your satisfaction. You can book DJ’s, waiters and waitresses directly with us, if you want additional acts and or equipment like projectors just let us know, we carry a full range of gear and know all the best acts in town good to book for a boat trip.

client’s review

  • We've been using Dave & Wetspot charters for all our cruises for last 5 years and would not look anywhere else! Our events range from an intimate 50 guests all the way up to 500 guests for our huge Maiko Raft-ups, we seriously cannot recommend these guys enough. Complete professionalism and super fun and easy to work with, keep up the good work guys.

  • Dave and his Nautica team are second to none when it comes to providing an exclusive tailored charter experience. In my line of work, I have occasion to entertain a lot of international musicians, DJ's and performers. What better way to show off our great waterways than on a well appointed boat with fantastic staff and a fabulous flexible attitude. I can't speak highly enough of the Nautica/WetSpot experience ! .

  • All of my friends and myself had a fantastic night on saturday aboard the good ship Nautica! The boat looked amazing with the laser lighting effects down stairs on the dance floor and for those not wanting to dance, the sun lounge on the top deck was a much loved feature to have a drink and watch the city lights go by. Awesome night...that my friends will talk about for a long time. Thank-you so much for all the effort you guys put in.
