Perth looks better from the water
The resort jetty hosts a 40-foot sports cruiser, a classic timber launch, a luxury RIB and a sailing yacht — each with a professional skipper and, on request, a deckhand and onboard catering.
Charters pair naturally with riverside dining or a full concierge-built itinerary — board after lunch, return under city lights.

Every detail, considered
Sunset runs
Two-hour twilight cruises past Elizabeth Quay with a drinks hamper and blankets on deck.
Winery route
Full-day upriver charters to Swan Valley cellar doors with reserved tastings.
Fremantle run
Downriver to the harbour for lunch ashore — the skipper holds the boat while you dine.
Onboard catering
Chef-prepared hampers, raw-bar platters or a full onboard grill on the cruiser.
Skippered only
All vessels run with licensed skippers — you steer nothing, you miss nothing.
Photo-friendly
Skippers know the angles — skyline, pelicans and the exact kilometre for sunset.
The golden-hour charter
Our most-booked departure: board at 17:30, anchor off Pelican Point as the light goes, and return along an illuminated foreshore — back in time for a late dinner.
2-hour format
Timed to catch both golden hour and city lights on the return.
Proposal-ready
The crew is quietly practised at holding rings, flowers and secrets.
