COVID Vaccination Policy: Where border entry rules on international passages require it, all crew joining an event may be required to provide proof of a COVID-19 double vaccination prior to departure. This is to protect the health of all onboard. We are not equipped medically to deal with serious COVID symptoms onboard on offshore passages and at times are well outside of helicopter range. In some cases or where required by a destination port, pre-departure COVID-19 tests may also be required.
We do not discriminate against unvaccinated crew. As a commercially licensed sailing vessel, we still have to follow any laws set down by the health authorities in each State and Country. On our domestic sailing events (within a country), vaccinations are no longer mandatory. We will continue to amend our COVID policies to maintain compliance with the regulations.
Note: As at 14 May 2023 there are no destinations that we sail to, where COVID Vaccination Certificates are required.
