Why not book us for your next event cruising around Rottnest island, bay hopping around the many bays such as:

Thomson Bay | Longreach | Geordie Bay | Parakeet Bay | Stark Bay

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT ON A ROTTO DAY

Departing from Fremantle, your trip over to Rotto will take about an hour, then depending on the day, we can head to the Thompson Bay near the Army Barracks and drop the anchor, or we can cruise further west and head over to Longreach, Geordie, Narrowneck or our favourite Parakeet Bay.

We will either drop the anchor or use our mooring , here we can spend as much time a you like. We can use our tender (small boat) and take you to shore so you play cricket with your mates, or a romantic stroll along the beach. Most of the times, the beaches at Narrowneck or Parakeet Bay are pretty empty , so it could be your private beach for the day.

Why not just hang out on our beautiful Lady Grace, having a few drinks, or cool off and go for a swim, our large swim platform with ladder is a perfect spot to dip your toes in on the back of the boat. We even have a few sets of complimentary snorkelling equipment. Feeling a bit hungry, dont worry while you are living it up, our crew will happily cook the barbie for you and make sure that the esky is topped up.

SET UP PRIOR TO YOUR CHARTER

Included in your charter hire, is a 15 minute window prior to your charter, where our vessel will be at the departure jetty for you. At this time, we suggest any catering, food, drink, ice , etc be organised to be delivered and our crew will load it all onto the vessel for you. At this time, you are welcome to board the boat along with a couple of others of your party to set up your decorations and anything else that we have discussed. We would like to mention that the rest of your party are not able to board until the departure time which is noted on your booking, as we need to follow our safety procedures for boarding and the crew are in place ready to assist in boarding.

If you do require additional time, this can be arranged however we will need to charge a fee, please let us know when booking.

BEVERAGES

Drinks and ICE are BYO

We have large ice boxes on the back deck ready to keep your drinks icy cold

You can call Liquor Barons Melville ask for Tony tel 93301168 to order your drinks/ice and they will happily deliver the drinks to the vessel prior to your charter. A Delivery charge may apply. OR you can order your drinks with your preferred liquor delivery service. We recommend at least 60kgs of ice for each 4 hour charter. Our crew will unpack your drinks and load them into the our onboard ice boxes for you. Please note that all drinks that are not consumed are to be taken off the boat at the end of your function – as we normally have another charter starting soon after , and we cannot be responsible for the storing of your extra drinks.

WAITRESSING

We do not supply waitresses on our charters. We have onboard a skipper and one or two deckhands depending on the number of people that you have booked for. Our crew are there mainly to follow our strict safety procedures. Our crew will happily assist with your BBQ cooking, although our crew do not serve, we normally place all food on the main central table for your guests to help themselves. With your drinks our crew will also unpack and load all your drinks into our ice boxes on the back deck, once again all drinks are then on a help yourself basis. If you would like us to provide extra crew, we can organise waitresses from $25.00 per hour Mon-Fri and $30.00 on the weekends. Although we do not believe extra waitresses are necessary as you will find that all guests are happy to help themselves to the buffet style food and drinks which are all within easy reach.

Please note that all your belongings are to be taken off the vessel at the completion of your charter, as we normally have another function starting soon after your charter. Apache Charters cannot be held responsible for any of your belongings that you leave on the vessel. Although, if you accidently leave something on the boat, then of course we will do our best to look after it for you, and we can arrange a suitable time for you to collect.

CATERING –

You can fully BYO or you can choose our BBQ or finger food options, please ask for our extensive menus. Catering does not need to be ordered until a couple of weeks before your charter, however in December catering will need to be ordered 30 days prior to your event.

 

My aim is to have you bring as little as possible on the boat on the day (if you wish). I aim to have everything on board just prior to your charter so when you step on, everything is set up and ready to go, so you dont need to worry about any minor details on the day and so you can leave at the end of your great party with nothing in your hand – just in case you have something planned after. So please call me if you wish for me to arrange anything for you . I have organised 1000’s of functions on our beautiful vessel Lady Grace over the last 12 years, so rest assured your “party to remember” will definitely be a huge success with Apache Charters

Thanks for your enquiry. If you do wish to discuss a booking, please email or call, and I will email back a booking charter sheet with all charter information plus the 50% deposit payment details. Initially, we just need to book the time/jetty in and catering details can be organised about a month from your charter. With every charter I will also keep in contact with you, and I am available to discuss any question you have big or small! Yes ladies you can wear shoes ...........

Kind Regards
