- 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. Managed to spot a whale migrating and watch the sunset over Rottnest Island. A must do if you are spending some time on Rottnest Island or visiting the Fremantle area.read moreread less×Paul Russell24/10/2019Fantastic Twilight sail from Fremantle Fishing Boat Harbour.

- Liz B18/10/2019Excellent boat and crew - would highly recommend for an amazing day out on the 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.

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.

- Mac Family31/05/2018Last month my family and I spent 3 nights sailing on Capella for my birthday. What a great way to celebrate! 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!
