Charter Formats

Three Charters, Three Purposes

Each format was designed around a specific kind of gathering — the curious visitor, the professional group, and the working team that needs a change of setting. All three depart from HarbourFront Centre.

Our Methodology

How We Approach Every Charter

1

Enquiry & Consultation

We begin by understanding the group — size, purpose, and any specific preferences. This informs which format suits and whether any adjustments are worth discussing.

2

Planning & Confirmation

For corporate and retreat charters, we schedule planning calls to work through the day's structure. Written confirmation is issued once the booking is secured.

3

Pre-Departure Preparation

Crew are briefed on the group, catering is prepared, weather is assessed, and the vessel is inspected. Boarding instructions are sent to the client in advance.

4

Post-Charter Review

A brief feedback form is shared after each charter. Responses are reviewed by the operations team and used to improve future departures in a systematic way.
