Dinghies

For a more intimate experience on the Mandurah Canals, opt for our four-person dinghy! This smaller vessel is great for couples or smaller groups who want to explore the Mandurah Canals, see wild dolphins, or stop for some crabbing or fishing. Please note that these vessels may not be suitable for those with limited mobility. They require 2 steps down and there isn't a handrail. We'd highly recommend a pontoon for those who need an easier boarding experience.

Our boats are a great value for those who want to be out on the water and be in charge of their trip. Our user-friendly boats are designed for all ages and abilities and you’ll receive a thorough safety review and instructions for your boat’s operations. We’re sure you’ll have a pleasant morning or afternoon with one of our boat hires.

• Can hold a maximum of 4 passengers including children and infants.
• Designed for fishing and crabbing.
• Does not have clears on the sides for weather protection but does have a roof.
• Plastic seating and a aluminium deck designed to be easily washed off.

The dinghy holds a maximum of 4 passengers, including children and infants.

• Drivers license or photo ID
• Snacks and drinks
• Sunscreen
• Music box
• Jacket, as it can get cold on the water

Boarding requires two steps down and there is no handrail, so the dinghy may not suit guests with limited mobility.

You will need to arrive at least 15 minutes before your allocated hire time to check in at the office and complete your liability waiver. You can also complete the waiver online before the day using the link in your confirmation email. On busy days, please allow additional time as there can sometimes be a queue in the office.

Once you head down to the jetty you will be given a 15 minute safety briefing this is part of your hire time. This may be reduced if you've watched our Safety Video and have been deemed competent by our staff. Please ensure you return back at the jetty before the end of the hire time and have all your belongings together ready to disembark. Late returns will be charged.
