COVID-19
Sail Ningaloo is ready to welcome you on board Shore Thing with confidence – our Guests and employees health and well-being is our highest priority and our COVID safety & vaccination protocols means that you can travel with peace of mind.
Sail Ningaloo adheres to the guidance & requirements set out by Federal and State Government and Industry bodies, as well as implementing enhanced protocols, to help keep guests and employees COVID Safe.
TRAVEL VACCINATION POLICY *Updated 29th April 2022
As the Western Australian Government has removed vaccine requirements for licensed commercial vessels from 29th April 2022, guests will no longer be required to show proof of vaccination prior to boarding the vessel. However, as Sail Ningaloo aims to provide guests with confidence that we are doing all we can in order to reduce any risk of disruptions whilst on board, whilst COVID-19 continues to spread rapidly through WA, we have implemented the following measures;
- All Crew & Guests will be required to complete a negative Rapid Antigen Testing in the 24 hours prior to joining a Sail Ningaloo service.
- Employees are still required to be fully vaccinated to work from the 1st February 2022, as per State Government directives.
We will continue to diligently monitor this ever-evolving landscape and will make amendments to our policy as and when required.
