About The Vessel

After your safety briefing from one of our friendly crew members, head out into the Mandurah canals to see the stunning scenery and have an enjoyable time with your family and friends. Cruise around and keep your eyes open for dolphins or find the perfect spot for fishing or crabbing.

All of our boats are easy to use. We’re sure you’ll have a wonderful time exploring the waterways around Mandurah with one of our boat hires. Please also 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.

  • Can hold a maximum of 8 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.
  • Aluminium seating & deck designed to be easily washed off.
Passenger Limits

The runabout holds a maximum of 8 passengers, including children and infants over 12 months. We recommend a max of 4 adults and 4 children.

Accessibility

Boarding requires two steps down and there is no handrail.
