Dress Standard & Code of Conduct

WHAT TO WEAR ABOARD

The Dress Standard

To preserve the easy elegance of the club, we ask guests to dress as they would at a yacht club — smart casual with a polished look.

Perfect: collared shirts and blouses · dress shorts or pants · jeans in good condition · summer dresses · lifestyle shoes
Shoes come off at the gangway — barefoot on deck is how she's sailed. Bring a light layer for the trip home
Not quite right for the deck: activewear and sports attire · hi-vis and workwear · swimwear worn as outerwear · overly revealing outfits · fancy dress (unless we've planned it together)
Beach Day charters: covered beachwear is the standard

Our crew may ask a guest to add a cover, or decline boarding, where the standard isn't met — no refund applies in that case, so when in doubt, dress up a notch: nobody has ever regretted looking good at golden hour.

THE CLUB'S HOUSE RULES

Code of Conduct

One rule sits above all others: the crew's word is final. They are responsible for your safety on the water, and their directions must be followed immediately.

Respect the vessel and each other. Aggressive, offensive or unsafe behaviour ends your evening — the crew may refuse boarding or remove any guest, without refund
Drink like you're at the club. We serve responsibly: 18+ only, ID may be requested, and service may be slowed or stopped at the crew's discretion. Guests who arrive intoxicated will not board
No BYO alcohol — the bar is licensed and pours at land prices. Anything brought aboard is held and returned at the gangway
No smoking or vaping aboard, except any exterior area the crew designates
Stay inside the rails. No sitting on rails or bow nets underway unless invited by crew; keep hands and drinks inboard during manoeuvres
Never jump. Entering the water happens one way only — a designated swim stop, with the crew's say-so and supervision. Jumping or diving from the vessel is an offence under maritime law: it ends the sailing without refund, and any fine or rescue-response cost is yours (on a private charter, the host's if you can't be identified)
Nothing illegal aboard. Illicit substances end the evening immediately, without refund, and police may be notified
One guest can end it for the group. If the Master has to end a sailing over someone's behaviour, no refund is payable to that guest or their party — and the Master's authority to keep everyone safe, including holding a person aboard until we berth or police attend, is final
Young adults 15–17 are welcome, supervised by an accompanying adult at all times; younger children by prior arrangement
Swim stops only. The water is wonderful — at designated stops, with the crew's say-so, sober, and never at night or under way
Leave at home: fireworks, sparklers, sky lanterns, candles and naked flames, confetti and glitter, drones (unless arranged), and pets (assistance animals welcome, notified ahead)
Bags may be checked. As a licensed venue, entry is subject to security conditions — crew or security may ask to look inside bags and eskies at the gangway. Decline is fine; boarding without the check isn't
Tell the crew before you step off. Any bump, slip or near-miss — report it before you disembark so we can help and record it properly
Look after your things — personal property is aboard at your own risk
Photos: we capture moments for the club's channels; tell us in writing before departure if you'd rather not appear

The point of every rule is the same: eighty people at golden hour, all having the best night on the coast, safely. Thank you for sailing like a member.
