Private Charters
Your Dream Event
private boat charters in Mandurah and at Rottnest Island
Sea West is the family company behind Mandurah Cruises and Rottnest Cruises. Five of our custom-built vessels are available for private functions of every kind, in two of Western Australia’s most beautiful settings.
Our Functions Coordinator will tailor a package to your style, taste and budget, from an intimate sunset celebration to a corporate event for up to 70 guests.
Mandurah
Estuary and canal charters
Charter one of the vessels that hosts Mandurah Cruises guests and enjoy the estuary and canals with your own group.
Our vessels often run public cruises during the day, so evenings usually have the best availability. In December, our evenings are dedicated to Christmas Lights cruises, so evening private charters are unavailable that month.
Cocktail-style capacity
- Mandjar up to 70
- Dancing Dolphin up to 55 (40 seated)
- Reel Affair II up to 40 (24 seated)
- SuperCat up to 35
- Crusader up to 40
- Wheelchair access on Mandjar and Dancing Dolphin
- BYO available on Reel Affair II and SuperCat
Rottnest Island
Luxe Island Seafood Cruise
Charter our Luxe Island Seafood Cruise for up to 35 guests. Enjoy a half-day on the water with a seven-course seafood banquet featuring fresh-caught Western Rock Lobster, drinks included, and a swim at anchor in one of the island’s bays.
It is the signature Rottnest Cruises experience, reserved for your group.
