*If the departure time changes, you will be notified by email and/or text message. Please reply to this email if you have not yet provided both contact types.
Coral Sea Marina has parking available for $13/day.
**YOUR ITINERARY:**
Avatar doesn’t have set itineraries, as we are dependent on weather & tidal conditions. When you board Avatar, the crew will go through information specific to the vessel as well as where you may be going in the coming days.
IMPORTANT!
No large backpacks or suitcases are allowed on-board Avatar. Please only bring bags the same size as airline carry-on.
Most hostel/hotels in Airlie beach have bag storage facilities for bigger bags.
There is NO bag storage at the marina and you face missing your departure if you bring bags that are not allowed.
**WHAT TO BRING:**
In a small soft bag (enviro safe), we suggest that you bring the following:
• Travel voucher from your booking agent.
• Light Clothing / Warm clothing in cooler months (May - September)
• Swimsuit
• Hat
• Sunscreen (30+ highly recommended)
• Bath Towel and Beach Towel
• Sunglasses

• Plastic Bags (They kill our wildlife and smother the coral)
OzSail is not responsible for any property you take on board the vessel. In particular, we strongly encourage you to take waterproof cameras rather than expensive digital cameras. Your electrical equipment will be ruined if it comes in contact with salt water.
**MEALS:**
If you haven't already confirmed with us about food allergies and/or dietary requirements, please call us ASAP to modify your booking.
All main meals are included. If you love snacks and flavoured drinks (like me), you may like to bring some extras including flavoured drinks e.g. orange juice or soft drinks.
**WEATHER:**
Welcome to the tropics! Although our winters may be cooler. Our summer months (November -March) can be extremely hot and humid, especially downstairs on a boat. Unless you are accustomed to living in this climate, you may find it slightly uncomfortable, especially at night when you are sleeping. Please be prepared for this.
**ALCOHOL, SOFT DRINKS AND BOTTLED WATER:**
An Alcohol policy is in place on Avatar. Each guest can take a maximum of 24 cans of beer OR 4ltrs cask wine (goon) OR 1ltr of spirits, any more than this will NOT be allowed on-board. All alcohol, soft drinks and bottled water must be purchased prior to boarding your vessel. (Please note, we do not allow glass bottles on board)
**WATER, TEA AND COFFEE:**
We provide tap water on all our vessels however it isn't cold and some people don't like the taste of it. During our summer months, we strongly encourage you to bring bottled water. We recommend at least 2 litres per day. Tea and Coffee breaks are generally in the morning and afternoon.
**TRAVEL SICKNESS:**
If you are not sure whether or not you may suffer from travel sickness, we suggest taking travel sickness tablets. Our trained crew will assist as much as possible in making you comfortable but they are not allowed to provide you with any medication.
**SNORKELLING GEAR:**
Masks and snorkels are all included in the price of your trip and will be distributed at the meeting point.
**LYCRA SUITS & WETSUITS:**
Wearing a Lycra stinger suit will prevent UV exposure and significantly reduce your risk to marine stingers. OzSail; requires that all passengers wear a full-length stinger suit or wetsuit if you wish to swim and or snorkel from our vessels.
You will be fitted at the meeting point and are all inclusive in your ticket price.
**TRAVEL INSURANCE:**
We strongly encourage all guests travel with travel insurance with coverage for the following situations:
• Damaged Property (You will be on a boat surrounded by sea water)
• Medical Emergencies including Ambulance cover and
• Travel Cancellation & Interruption
--------------------------------
Please ensure that you have read all of the above carefully.
On the date of departure, please ensure you are at Meeting Point C at Coral Sea Marina (South Village) before your scheduled departure time. It is critical that the vessel leaves on time.
It will take you 20 mins to walk to Coral Sea Marina from the main street of Airlie Beach. If the ocean is on your right-hand side you are walking in the right direction.
--------------------------------
**TRAVEL DATES: **
At the end of your sailing adventure, OzSail have booked you a VIP table at Beaches Backpackers at 6:30pm for dinner and drinks followed by free entry and more VIP treatment at Paddy's Shenanigans, Airlie's iconic party spot.
We recommend that you get to Airlie Beach the day before departure and leave Airlie Beach the day after you return to land, to enjoy the after party.
