Salt air and a slow swell set the pace as the 69-foot charter eases out of Fremantle toward Rottnest Island, three decks of polished wood and white linen promising a different kind of marine day. Guests sip a welcome cocktail while crew secure the vessel, then drift into a sheltered bay where turquoise water dares you to dive and float mats bob like oversized lily pads.

Salt air and a slow swell set the pace as the 69-foot charter eases out of Fremantle toward Rottnest Island, three decks of polished wood and white linen promising a different kind of marine day. Guests sip a welcome cocktail while crew secure the vessel, then drift into a sheltered bay where turquoise water dares you to dive and float mats bob like oversized lily pads.
Rottnest Island sits on ancient limestone platforms carved by tides and time; once charted by Dutch sailors, it later became a favoured picnic and recreation spot for Western Australians. The cruise leans into local identity—Margaret River still and sparkling wines, Howard Park vintages, and a menu celebrating Western Rock Lobster and Abrolhos scallops curated by chef Tony Howell. Culture here is coastal and practical: fishers, Noongar connections to sea country, and a long history of maritime navigation.
Practically, the cruise is a four-hour, all-inclusive experience: a seven-course degustation served table-style, live lobster pots hauled for viewing, and opportunities to swim from the anchored vessel. Expect gentle ocean motion when transiting; once moored the boat is steady but boarding requires negotiating an angled ramp and ladder-style stairs. Wear reef shoes for wet decks, bring reef-safe sunscreen, and time your booking for calmer morning or late-afternoon waters.
This trip pairs luxury dining with hands-on marine moments—ideal for those who want indulgence without losing connection to the sea. Plan transport to Fremantle, pack a light layer for sea breeze, and be ready to trade a polished dining table for a towel on the bow between courses.
Most departures are from Fremantle; confirm your exact boarding location and arrive 30 minutes before departure.
Yes — the vessel anchors in sheltered bays like Longreach or Parakeet where guests can swim off the swim ladder and use float mats.
Catch is part demonstration and education; the lobster is handled and cooked by the onboard chef and served as part of the degustation, not taken home.
Children are welcome but must be supervised; non‑swimmers can still enjoy the cruise from the decks—life jackets are available on request.
