Charter 1

Verification status: public information reviewed 11 September 2026. Availability, price, survey limits and policies can change. Confirm in writing with the operator.

Who this operator may suit

The published offer is most relevant to travellers matching these formats: shared day; snorkel; sunset; private; corporate. Shortlist it when the base at Sardine Jetty, Fremantle and the operating area—Fremantle; Rottnest; Carnac—fit the desired itinerary. Do not compare headline capacity without checking whether it is a day-passenger limit, an offshore limit or an overnight berth count.

Qualifications and handover

Crew supplied. For any self-skippered booking, expect the operator to assess recent comparable experience, anchoring, engines, navigation and emergency competence. A licence alone does not compel an operator to release a vessel. See qualifications and charter resumes.

Inclusions and exclusions

Tour examples include lunch, snorkel gear, kayak/SUP; private varies. Ask for a line-item quote covering skipper and crew, fuel, gas, marina/wharf fees, cleaning, linen, tender/outboard, water toys, catering, beverages, reef or park charges, credit-card surcharge and security bond.

Deposits, cancellation and weather

Weather and cancellation policy linked on site. Obtain the current contract for the chosen vessel and date. Separate cancellation by the customer, cancellation by the operator, weather rerouting, mechanical substitution and force-majeure clauses.

Review and reputation signals

Operator/context signal: 15+ years for Capella and repeat-customer claim; tourism listings. Ratings are dated snapshots and can move. Google figures are included only where the operator embeds the live result or a searchable review index republishes a clearly matched Google Business profile; they are labelled accordingly. Read recent low and mid-rating reviews as well as high ratings, and check whether comments concern the same vessel and current management.
