Update.....

I noticed on the Spirit of Tas site that group bookings can attract a commission for agents. So based on this info I am going to try a few agents to see what their best group rate (15-20 ppl) will be.

Cheers

Just booked for travel night sail 31st.Jan return 6 Feb. Cost all up $260. WTF? you may ask -
Its called a Birthday Special, book in the month of your birthday and get 25% off. You have had to be a registered member prior to booking. And wanna try the recliner this time as last time bed did me no good. I can arm chair sleep anywayz. So its $130 with bike each way with 25% birthday discount. 4 berth share wud be extra $50 for both ways.

Beat that suckers!

Nice find Volvi I didn't know about the b'day specials... Everyone sing up to be a spirit member and remember you are all born in Feb lol

[Batfink]

Though I am not sure it's a big special... 129+58 each way for standard four birth shared... Is 387 return
260 +50+50 is 360 return... Def not 25% off there Volvi

[Volvi]

260 + 50 for both ways thats $310 (+$25 each way). and not birthday for Feb but birthday month when you book for whatever date as per

After waiting for replies and talking to several agents it seems none if them are willing to better the price Spirit has forgroup bookings ($140+bike one way).
You can save $11 each way by booking your own today LOL and even more if you're willing to sleep in a chair. So I will leave it up to each individual to arrange their own Bass Straight crossing... The dates are set at starting at Devonport on Monday 1st Feb 2016 and finishing back at Devonport on Saturday 6th Feb.....

As you book your boat tickets, or if you know you are a definite starter, can you please PM me with details of numbers and contact mobile. I would like to secure beds at each stop by end of May.

Looking forward to showing you some of the great Tassie roads and sights.
