Sunset Sail Fremantle
Watch the stars begin to shine on a glorious Sunset Sail from Fremantle, Perth!
Activities in Perth don’t get much better than a sunset cruise aboard a world-class luxury catamaran. The perfect date night or catch-up with friends!
Your sunset cruise adventure will start and finish from the world famous Fremantle Fishing Boat Harbour.
Watch Fremantle, the Port and Harbour come alive with a kaleidoscope of colours. We may even be joined by a pod of dolphins or see humpback whales and their calves as they migrate down the coast from Sept – Nov.
Capella is a luxury appointed 12.5m Schionning designed sailing catamaran noted for her stable ride and huge deck space. She’s nearly twice the width of a single hull yacht, meaning plenty of spaces to sit and relax comfortably.

History Of the city
The port city of Fremantle lies on a series of limestone hills at the mouth of the Swan River, approximately 25 minutes from Perth, the capital of Western Australia. Many of the city’s most impressive heritage buildings are built from the pale-coloured local limestone. Central Fremantle is bounded to the north and east by the lower reaches of the Swan River and to the west by the Indian Ocean with stunning stretches of beach to the north of the city and to the south. Fremantle is a major port for Western Australia and Fremantle Harbour is the entrance point for the many container ships, cruise ships, ferries and leisure craft that berth at the port in the Inner Harbour. Smaller leisure craft and ferries travel the 20 km’s up the Swan River to Perth.

- Paul Russell24/10/2019Fantastic Twilight sail from Fremantle Fishing Boat Harbour. Great crew on-board and made feel very welcome. Capella is a great vessel and very relaxing out on the open water.

Have been on this boat twice - once for a private day charter to Rottnest and the other for a sunset sail to Carnac Island. Both were fabulous fun days where you really get to experience the beauty of Perth from the water. The boat is a great size for a group gathering and the owners are passionate and professional. I have been on a lot of different charter boats out of Fremantle but this one is an extra special experience being a catamaran. No hesitation in recommending Charter 1 to anyone.read moreread less×Liz B18/10/2019Excellent boat and crew - would highly recommend for an amazing day out on the water!!

The staff are not only professional but are also very friendly - their deckhand took an amazing photo of my husband and I with the sunset in the background. We loved our sunset sail so much the we followed up with a sail over to Rottnest. I can't recommend this company enough, they're awesome.read moreread less×Jade Just04/10/2019I've been on a few charters but Charter 1 has been the best by far.

- Hayley Baldwin04/05/2019I was lucky enough to win a sunset cruise in Charter 1's recent competition! I invited 17 friends on board and we had a beautiful evening watching the sun go down over the ocean. The boat is awesome and I'd love to do the Rottnest cruise in summer so that we can use the stand-up paddle boards, and sunbathe on the trampolines.read moreread less×Hayley Baldwin04/05/2019I was lucky enough to win a sunset cruise in Charter 1's recent competition!

Jules and Andrew were excellent hosts, very professional and put a couple of the apprehensive participants at ease. The boat itself is very cool and a lot of fun. And the food and drinks laid on by Jules was all very enjoyable. Definitely planning to return again one day. Thanks again guys!read moreread less×Patrick Welch30/04/2019Our group of 10 friends went on a 2-hour twilight cruise and everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves.

- Damien J29/12/2018Sailing towards the Sunset with my Wife whilst sipping on complementary wine, snacking on canopies and feeling the sea breeze on your face are the things dreams are made of. This 2 hour cruise was perfect for a birthday gift. The crew were incredibly friendly and accommodating of requests. BYO was a bonus and the freedom to move around the catamaran was great. Would recommend this to locals and visitors as a must do. Would love to take a day trip to Rotto or Carnac. Thank you Capella and crew. "It is almost impossible to see a sunset and not dream".read moreread less×Damien J29/12/2018Sailing towards the Sunset with my Wife whilst sipping on complementary wine, snacking on canopies and feeling the sea breeze on your face are the things dreams are made of.

Through their local knowledge Erin and Jules took us to some beautiful spots for snorkeling, stand up paddle boarding and sunsets. We were able to explore remote beaches that we couldn't have gotten to without a boat, which made it that extra special for us. The accommodation on Capella was very comfortable and spacious and suited us and our two young kids perfectly. This sailing trip was an amazing experience for all of us and also such a special birthday for me. I was so happy that we as a family could spend that time together and all have such a great time. We were able to do activities that the whole family enjoyed and Jules and Erin made it so easy for the kids on board. There was plenty of things for them on and off the boat to explore and learn about. They really took the time to make it a special experience for the kids too. It was definitely the best birthday celebration I've ever had and such a memorable experience for our whole family. We would highly recommend a sailing trip on Capella, we will be back!read moreread less×Mac Family31/05/2018Last month my family and I spent 3 nights sailing on Capella for my birthday.

Lots of room and lots of things to do! Watching dolphins or sea lions, snorkelling, swimming and diving, or just relaxing on board with a cold drink or two! Have had a day cruise to Carnac island and a twilight cruise! Loved watching the sun go down with nothing between us and the sun! Beautiful! Thanks Charter 1.read moreread less×Patricia Richards29/05/2018We have had two cruises on Capella and we loved them. The Yellow Cat is awesome! Lots of room and lots of things to do!
