Gift voucher for Hooked-up Boat Hire for long weekend to the value of $990.

We won this voucher in the Bluewater Classic 2016.

Looking for offers $800.

Are they still in business? Website is gone, and emails bouncing back. Facebook contact redirects to a mowing business.

Mobile Number disconnected too!!! Might be worth Zip Balou

Sorry everyone just confirmed that they are closed.

Not my intention decieve anyone.

Might contact the DTBC today as there were a lot of prizes from last years classic

Spewin, I got a 1 day voucher, now worth nothing!

I know you weren't trying to deceive Balou, only just found out myself.

They posted in Feb on Facebook, it must have happened fairly recently.

That's a shame; had a couple of positive experiences with them a few years back.

Wonder what happened with their boats?

Wow, I'm sure I seen a few of their boats out and about on recent trips.
I think they just upgraded all their boats, maybe that's what tipped them over the edge.
Boat hire business must be pretty cut throat. There's been quite a few come and go.

i saw one of there boats on the move the other day?

early feb from what I know, we had 3 boats booked for late April and had to change plans, from what we heard another Company was going to buy them out but have now pulled out.

Anyone want to buy a hire boat company outright or one of their boats, its still for sale if any interest. I had a boat booked and was in contact with them and could get them to contact you. I think someone is still looking to buy

Seems odd to be trying to sell a business that has seased trading

How many guided charter boats offering day charters (or more) are there in Darwin?

Anybody know?

My guess would be closer to 50 than 10.

I had one late last year and a mate told me they were shutting up shop so I rang Peter and Viv, they told me I had one week to use it as they were closing up. They were trying to sell the business and had a buyer apparently. He (Peter Green) got a job out on inpex, but not any old job an engineering role. He told me I think after 9 or 10 years ( something like that) he had enough. I asked if they've contacted everyone or advertised notifying they were closing and said they had apart from me? Nice enough people. Boats really needed maintenance in the end, were getting ratty on the inside.
