Private Boat Charter - Rottnest Island

Enjoy a spectacular day on the water travelling out to Rottnest Island onboard the 70ft ‘Lady Grace’.

Perfect for your Summer Boat Party, Hens Party, Corporate Staff Christmas Party or simply for a memorable day out with friends & family.

Lady Grace is fully equipped with everything you need for a comfortable day onboard and our highly experienced & knowledgeable crew will ensure you have an enjoyable day.

Departing from Fremantle, at either 9am or 10am your trip over to Rotto will take about an hour, then depending on the day we can head to the Army Barracks and drop the anchor or we can cruise past Bathurst, Longreach, The Basin and Geordie Bay to our favourite Parakeet Bay. Once we have anchored, we can take you ashore at Parakeet Bay on our tender (please request when booking your charter - landing fees may apply). On the beach, you can play cricket or just sit back and soak up the sun.

The waters are crystal clear and are perfect for swimming and snorkelling and we do have a few sets of snorkelling equipment, sup boards and inflatables on board for you to use.

In the afternoon, enjoy the cruise back to Fremantle for your 4pm or 5pm finish.

Our crew will meet them and unpack the drinks and load the ice and drinks into our onboard ice boxes. We recommend 50kg of ice for a 4 hour charter.

    We are a registered BYO vessel and as such when our clients are chartering our vessel for a private event such as birthday, anniversary, wedding, corporate staff party, hens party, staff Christmas party or

    any celebration where you are supplying alcohol complimentary and are NOT SELLING the alcohol to your guests, then these boat functions are EXEMPT from liquor licensing regulations regardless of

    the duration and number of guests. However, you will need to get a liquor licence if your company is supplying liquor to on board guests that are from another company, supplier or client which is then considered commercial gain and a licence is then required. its only a form to fill out and a small fee to the RGL. We can help if you have any queries.

    This information has come direct from the Racing and Gaming Department, so please feel free to call our office if you are still unsure.
