    A big "thank you" to your staff (Richie, Glen and Robbie) aboard the catamaran which took us out to the Great Barrier Reef on 16 February. They were so helpful.

    My wife had not snorkelled before and would not have done it had it not been for your staff, who persuaded her that having come all the way from England it was a "must do".

    I just wanted to drop you an email to say how good your Reef Experience was on Saturday. I've been on 6 different boats to the Reef in the last 18 months and Ocean Spirit dominates.

    From the boat, reef food to the crew, free Champaign and live music it was a fantastic day.

    Responsible Service of Alcohol Policy

    We aim to provide all patrons with a safe, friendly and pleasant atmosphere.
    Whilst the consumption of alcohol is part of many people's social life, we encourage those who choose to drink to do so responsibly.

    Unfortunately, some people over-indulge and can become unruly and disruptive. This type of behaviour is unacceptable as it may threaten the enjoyment and safety of others and may result in serious consequences. As the operator, we have a responsibility to help minimize this risk to individuals, our staff and to the wider community.

    We support the Responsible Service of Alcohol policy by use of the following strategies:

    1. Develop food and beverage packages that encourage people to eat when drinking
    2. Serve drinks in standard or recognizable sizes
    3. Ensure that drinking water is freely available
    4. Request proof of age if there is risk of serving minors
    5. Training of staff in responsible service requirements and how to refuse service to intoxicated patrons
    6. Price low alcohol and soft drinks attractively to encourage their purchase
    7. Discourage rapid or excessive consumption of alcohol
    8. Deny entry or service to anyone who is already intoxicated
    9. All necessary RSA signage will be visible to both patrons and bar staff

These third -party vendors also use first-party cookies (such as the Google Analytics cookie) and third-party cookies (such as the DoubleClick cookie) together to inform, optimize, and serve ads based on someone's past visits to our website.
