A low, electric hum and the scent of salt air greet you as the donut-shaped boat eases out of Mandurah Ocean Marina. The central BBQ sizzles while the water around you glitters; narrow Venetian-style canals open into the wide Peel-Harvey estuary and the Indian Ocean beyond. This is a social day on water—close enough to hear laughter ripple across the deck, far enough from shore to feel the estuary push and pull at the hull.
Verified experiences and guided adventures in the surrounding area.

Mandurah sits about 70 km south of Perth on country traditionally of the Noongar people—its name derived from local language meaning a meeting place. Geologically the area is an estuary system of sandflats, seagrass meadows and tidal channels carved over millennia; culturally it’s a working waterfront known for fishing, oyster leases and dolphin tours. The electric donut boat offers a leisurely way to sample those elements without a licence requirement: seating for up to 10, a central table/BBQ, and shallow-draft stability suited to calm estuary waters.
Practically, hires are commonly two hours; the craft is simple to steer but subject to basic rules—obey local speed limits, stay clear of commercial traffic, and keep a respectful distance from dolphins and birdlife. Bring a cooler, sun protection and a waterproof bag for phones. Timing matters: early afternoons in summer are hot and busy; mornings and golden-hour cruises in shoulder seasons are calmer and bird-rich. Expect sheltered channels, occasional tidal flow at the Dawesville Cut, and plenty of waterfront cafés for a post-cruise meal.
