If the hire has been cancelled by Berowra Waters Boat Hire (eg due to unsafe conditions) the hirer is entitled to a full refund of the payment, or a suitable alternative date for the hire.

Please note: Berowra Waters Boat Hire reserves the right to cancel hires without notice.
Generally, Berowra Waters Boat Hire will only cancel hires if the conditions are not considered safe (usually this is because of wind and a warning from BOM – rain itself is not generally considered as being sufficient enough grounds to cancel).
