The canopy over the cockpit and rear seat provides good coverage against showers, but it's not adequate for consistent rain.

If there is more than a 50% chance of rain (more than showers) forecast the afternoon before according to the Bureau of Meteorology, you are welcome to reschedule. We don't want you to have a miserable day in the rain!

If we ever have to cancel because weather, sea conditions or safety concerns make the hire unsafe, we'll reschedule you to another date.

If you need to cancel: more than 7 days before your hire you receive a full refund, no questions asked. Within 7 days the booking is non-refundable — any reschedule or credit is at our discretion (one reschedule per booking).
