Question 10

What makes VOYŌ different from other Gold Coast cruises?

Accepted Answer

VOYŌ is the Gold Coast's only sailing superyacht and Queensland's largest catamaran superyacht. Unlike crowded party boats or standard motor cruises, VOYŌ is designed for calm, spacious and relaxed-luxury sailing with open-air decks, attentive crew and premium add-ons.

Question 11

Is VOYŌ a party boat?

Accepted Answer

No. VOYŌ is a calm and uncrowded sailing experience, not a party boat. The atmosphere is relaxed, spacious and suitable for couples, friends, celebrations and easy afternoons on the Gold Coast Broadwater.

Question 12

Is there a licensed bar onboard VOYŌ?

Accepted Answer

Yes. VOYŌ has a fully licensed onboard bar offering cocktails, wine, beer, champagne, spirits and non-alcoholic options throughout your cruise. Drinks packages can be selected during checkout where available.

Question 13

Is food included on VOYŌ sailing cruises?

Accepted Answer

High Tea includes the signature high tea experience with petite pastries, savouries, tea and coffee. Other voyages can be enhanced with grazing plates and selected add-ons during checkout. Food is designed for relaxed grazing and is not a full restaurant meal.

Question 14

Drinks packages can be selected during checkout where available. For reserved onboard space, grazing platters, sparkling and priority boarding, see the Captain's Banquet Table or VOYO Cabana Club premium group packages.

Question 15

Accepted Answer

Yes. Alcohol is served from a licensed onboard bar in accordance with Queensland liquor licensing requirements. Service of alcohol is at the discretion of the crew and may be refused in line with responsible service of alcohol obligations.

Question 16

Can you accommodate dietary requirements?

Accepted Answer

VOYŌ makes reasonable efforts to accommodate dietary requirements where notified in advance, but cannot guarantee the absence of allergens or cross-contamination. Contact us before booking if you have specific dietary needs.

Question 17

What happens if it rains?

Accepted Answer

We sail in most conditions — and some of our best voyages have been on overcast days. A 24-metre sailing catamaran handles weather beautifully, and there is ample covered space on board. Light rain and moderate wind do not stop a great experience on a superyacht. Our Master assesses conditions on the morning of each sailing. If conditions are genuinely unsafe (severe storms, dangerous seas), the Master will cancel the sailing and you will receive a full credit for a future voyage, valid for 18 months. If we haven't cancelled the sailing but you'd prefer not to attend due to weather concerns, our standard cancellation terms apply.

Question 18

What if VOYŌ cancels my sailing due to weather?

Accepted Answer

You will receive a full credit for a future VOYŌ voyage, valid for 18 months from the original sailing date. Credits are transferable to another person and can be used toward any VOYŌ experience. We do not offer cash refunds for weather cancellations, but we will always work with you to find an alternative date.

Question 19

Who decides if it's safe to sail?

Accepted Answer

Our Master (vessel captain) makes the final decision on the morning of each sailing. This assessment is based on actual conditions, not television weather reports or Bureau of Meteorology forecasts. The Master's decision is final.

Question 20

Can I cancel my booking?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our cancellation policy depends on how much notice you give: 30+ days full credit for a future voyage (18 months, transferable); 14-29 days 50% credit; 7-13 days 25% credit; less than 7 days no credit and no refund. If you booked through Viator, Klook, or GetYourGuide, that platform's cancellation policy applies instead.

Question 21

Can I get a refund instead of a credit?

Accepted Answer

We offer voyage credits rather than cash refunds. Credits are valid for 18 months, transferable to another person, and can be used toward any VOYŌ experience. We find this gives our guests the flexibility to rebook when the timing is right.

Question 22

What if I cancel my group booking?

Accepted Answer

Group area reservations (Captain's Table, Cabana Club) follow our standard cancellation terms. Please note that catering costs are non-refundable once ordered, which is typically within 14 days of your sailing date. We recommend confirming your final numbers at least 14 days in advance.

Question 23

What if the weather is bad but you don't cancel?

Accepted Answer

We sail safely in a wide range of conditions. Our Master may modify the route or anchoring location to provide the best experience in the conditions — for example, staying in more sheltered waters or adjusting the sailing plan. Modified sailings proceed as planned and are often some of our most memorable voyages. If you choose not to attend a sailing that VOYŌ has not cancelled, this is treated as a guest cancellation and our standard terms apply.

Question 24

What happens to our food if a group booking is cancelled for weather?

Accepted Answer

If your catering has already been prepared, we will do our best to arrange an alternative location for you to enjoy it. The voyage credit and catering are handled separately — you will receive a full voyage credit, and the catering will not go to waste.

Question 25

I booked through Viator / Klook / GetYourGuide. What's the cancellation policy?

Accepted Answer

Bookings made through third-party platforms are subject to that platform's own cancellation policy. Please contact them directly to cancel or modify your booking. Our direct booking cancellation terms do not apply to third-party bookings.

Question 26

How long is my credit valid?

Accepted Answer

Credits are valid for 18 months from the date of the original cancelled sailing. They are transferable to another person and can be used toward any VOYŌ product. Unused credits expire after 18 months.

Question 27

Do you sail in winter?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We operate year-round on the Gold Coast. Winter days on the Broadwater are often sunny and calm — some of our best sailing weather. The Gold Coast enjoys over 300 days of sunshine per year.

Question 28

What should I wear on a Gold Coast sailing cruise?

Accepted Answer

Smart casual clothing is recommended for VOYŌ sailing cruises. Wear comfortable flat shoes for deck safety and bring a light jacket or wrap, especially for sunset cruises when it can get cooler after the sun sets.

Question 29

Are VOYŌ cruises suitable for special occasions?

Accepted Answer

Yes. VOYŌ sailing cruises are suitable for birthdays, anniversaries, date nights, proposals, group celebrations and corporate events. Premium packages and private charters are available for guests who want reserved areas or exclusive use of the vessel.

Question 30

Can children join a VOYŌ sailing cruise?

Accepted Answer

Children must be supervised by a responsible adult at all times while aboard VOYŌ. If you are booking for a family or group with children, review the available voyage details during checkout or contact VOYŌ before booking.

Question 31

What if I arrive late for my cruise?

Accepted Answer

Guests who arrive after the scheduled departure time may be unable to board. Late arrival can be treated as a no-show, with no refund or credit provided.

Question 32

Should I book if I have a medical condition?

Accepted Answer

Guests with pre-existing medical conditions should consult their physician before booking a VOYŌ sailing experience. All guests must follow crew instructions while aboard, and the captain's decision on safety matters is final.

Question 33

Is there parking at Stadium Marina, The Spit?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Parking is available at Marine Stadium near VOYŌ's departure point at Stadium Marina, The Spit, Main Beach. There is also a drop-off area near the marina.
