Rottnest, Carnac Island & Perth
Private Sailing Charters
Spend the day sailing to and from Rottnest or Carnac Island on the iconic luxury yellow catamaran. Charter 1 offers private sailing charters year-round.
Whether you’re new to sailing or an experienced sea dog, there is nothing quite like harnessing the power of the wind. Join us on an all day private sailing and snorkeling charter boat experience to Rottnest Island or Carnac Island, or spend a few hours meandering up the Spectacular Perth coastline at sunset. The choice is yours! Ideal for corporate events, family get-togethers, or just an excuse to head out with friends!
Being a catamaran, Capella offers private sailing charter experiences with all of the comfort and stability that two hulls can provide meaning none of that side to side swaying movement. Rest assured that if you pop your glass of chardonnay down on the table that is precisely where it will stay! With a comfortable indoor saloon, large spacious bows and ample seating areas, it’s the vessel you will want to be on this summer!
A catamaran of Capella’s size takes many hands to operate, offering teamwork, coordination and communication opportunities in abundance! As well as providing the social and relaxed atmosphere this makes is a brilliant platform for including some corporate team building into your day. Contact us to find out more about how we can help you with your next team building / social event.
We are the largest sailing catamaran charter boat in Perth with a legal maximum of 37 plus crew (daytime). Reduced passenger limits apply to some charter types.
We’ve hosted Chris Hemsworth, Matt Damon, the NRL, Moana Bikini and many more well known brands.

- Janelle Cherry25/03/2025We had a fantastic experience with Charter 1. The crew (Jules and Elle) were incredible and extremely flexible with us changing plans for the itinerary on the day. The boat was very well maintained and had plenty of extra's which were used during the day: snorkels, kayaks, floating matt etc. Overall, our family had an incredible day with Charter 1 and we will definitely use their services again.read moreread less×Janelle Cherry25/03/2025We had a fantastic experience with Charter 1.

It was a breath of ease from enquiry to book confirmation, and end up with a smooth execution even with windy conditions. My son said its the best birthday party he has ever had or ever attended. Big shout out to Aneska, Anabelle and Ellie. Great team and duty of care is second to none.read moreread less×Penny Shen10/02/2025Had son's 10th BD party with Charter1.

- mel muscat19/03/2024A large group of us hired the Capella for the day yesterday cruising around carnac island, snorkelling, swimming and having an amazing time. Just wanted to let the crew know how great they were, from start to finish they made sure we had the best time. We brought out own food on board and the crew cooked it and put it all out for us then packed everything away when we were done. We all really appreciate the high level of service provided. I highly recommend charter 1 and can't wait to be back on the Capella again enjoying the beautiful waters of Perth. Thanks so much crew!read moreread less×mel muscat19/03/2024A large group of us hired the Capella for the day yesterday cruising around carnac island, snorkelling, swimming and having an amazing time.

- Off The Beaten Track03/03/2021Thanks to Jules, Lisa, Luca and Georgia for an amazing experience on board the Capella! We hired the Capella for a private charter for our group and couldn't have been happier with the experience we all had. Carnac Island is absolutely beautiful! Highly recommend.read moreread lessRyan JonesMoana Bikini24/08/2019Incredibly Happy! Our company, Moana Bikini, undertook a live-aboard adventure on Capella for five nights around Rottnest Island to shoot our upcoming Campaign.
From the moment we met the crew until the moment we stepped off six days later, we were incredibly well-looked after, amazingly well-fed and shown incredible sights.
Our large team of 8 (for a live-aboard) were incredibly comfortable on-board for the five nights and the Capella Crew were really warm, enthusiastic and accommodating.
Because were were there for a photoshoot and had a specific job to complete, we were a little different to a standard charter, but the crew truly showcased their intimate knowledge of Rottnest Island, taking us to amazing locations with beautiful scenery and avoiding any crowds.
We were incredibly happy with our trip and are looking forward to getting back over to Rottnest with Charter1 again in the future!read moreread less×Ryan Jones24/08/2019Incredibly Happy!

My group of friends and I booked the Capella for a day to Carnac Island. So easy to book and organise with Charter 1. They were so helpful on the day - just took along our food and drink and everything was done for us after that! I didn’t have to worry about cooking the BBQ etc! Ronni and the crew were brilliant at helping people get set up with the kayaks, snorkelling, SUP - so much to do! The day just wasn’t long enough! Special mention to Ronni for saving some sunnies from a life at the bottom of the sea! Thanks Charter 1! You will definitely see us again soon!read moreread less×Claire B25/01/2018Brilliant Day on Board the Capella! My group of friends and I booked the Capella for a day to Carnac Island.

It was a fantastic day that every single person enjoyed and we couldn’t ask for anything better! Ronni and Bec were so professional, friendly and helpful, and even endured all the terrible jokes, and awful singing. The boat itself was perfect, there is plenty of space and it’s extremely comfortable. They have a paddle board; kayak and snorkelling gear on board so there is something for everyone to do.
