Beautiful twilight sail. Friendly staff, a gorgeous evening, and absolutely worth it.

Awesome twilight tour Absolutely loved the twilight tour, great weather, staff were lovely.. would book again xx

Friendly, communicative and professional We booked late the night before and they were super accommodating. Lovely day and way to explore Rottnest Island. We did the 9.45am ferry from Fremantle and it was a relaxed day all around.

Sensational Sunset Sail! Awesome Sunset Cruise! Skipper and Deco hand were extremely welcoming and overall fantastic experience. Highly recommend!!

Snorkeling experience of a life time! 💗 An amazing tour I will never forget! Both our snorkel guide and driver were fantastic! Both were very friendly and they made the whole experience very engaging!! Will definitely book again when we come back!! 😊

We had such an incredible day on the water with Charter1. Our captain gave us the option of Rottnest or Carnac Island with a run down of activities and weather at each. We opted for Carnac and had more time to just relax on the boat and in the water with the seals! The crew were great and helped cook and prepare all of our food. There was plenty of space for our group of 18 to spread out around the boat and plenty of water toys to keep us busy. Straightforward booking process and great communication the entire time. We will definitely be back for a Rottnest sail! Thanks again for a great day

Best decision ever Great day and what a bonus to have an all female crew with Tess and Sarah. We felt comfortable, welcome,safe and relaxed all the way. The snorkel tour was terrific as well. We highly recommend this tour

Jules, Erin & the whole team were fantastic. Thankyou for arranging the most beautiful private charter around Rottnest.

Unforgettable experience with Charter 1 Perth — and we got engaged!We had the most incredible time with Charter 1 Perth and couldn’t recommend them more highly. From the moment we stepped onboard, the crew were welcoming, professional, and went above and beyond to make our trip special.The catamaran was beautiful, spacious, and immaculately presented. The views of Perth and the river were absolutely stunning, and the whole experience felt relaxed, fun, and luxurious all at once.To make it even more unforgettable, my partner proposed on the catamaran — and the crew helped make it absolutely perfect. It was truly a once-in-a-lifetime moment and we’re so grateful to Charter 1 Perth for being part of such a special memory.If you’re looking for an amazing day out, a celebration, or a truly special occasion on the water, Charter 1 Perth is the way to go. We’ll definitely be back!

Awesome experience Highly recommend! We had a great time. Awesome snorkeling and we even saw a sea lion! The crew are so lovely and the hot cuppa and beautiful fruit platter after snorkeling is a great addition. The boat is stunning, and it was wonderful to be out on the water around the island.

Worth it First trip was cancelled due to wind conditions however it worked out perfectly to book the next day. Was a lovely night and great experience if you wanted something more on the relaxed side. 10 out of 10 for the platter so yummy nibbling throughout the trip. Would recommend! 💯 thanks to the awesome crew who looked after us

Highly recommend! I'm so glad I signed up for this adventure with my friend! It was both a relaxing sail and an adventure. We loved being able to sit at the front of the catamaran on the hammock and the guided snorkel tour was a nice touch. We enjoyed relaxing with tea and coffee after the snorkeling. The crew was friendly and helpful. We also really enjoyed the option to hang onto a net and be dragged by the boat towards the end! One of the best moments of the sail was seeing dolphins and an Australian sea lion.

We 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.

Great boating experience on Rottnest! Great boat, great crew and perfect location! Lots to see snorkelling with sea lions, tons of fish and coral. Thanks for a great trip! Be back next season :))

Took the day charter (again) and had an amazing time. The crew are fantastic, so helpful and make sure everyone is looked after. Highly recommend.

Great sail, great views, great experience! The crew were great at making everyone feel safe and relaxed. The actual trip itself was amazing with dolphins, sea lions and loads of fish. Was just exactly what we needed.

A day to remember I took all my staff out for a belated xmas party on Sunday. The day was perfect, weather to water were on point. The staff were great and made the day one to remember. We all thoroughly enjoyed the day and would definitely recommend to jump out of your comfort zone and enjoy this experience.

Fantastic experience on Rottnest Island This was a fantastic activity that was even better than expected. They were quite accommodating by running the tour even though we were below the normal minimum number of participants. The boat is very comfortable with lots of amenities. We cruised to an island where sea lions bask on the beach and snorkeled around a coral reef just off the island, seeing many different fish and ocean vegetation. Our guide during the snorkeling was great, and they were prepared for many levels of capability. After snorkeling we had a delicious snack of fresh fruits and non-alcoholic beverages. Then we were able to swim off the boat as desired and various water toys were available for use. A relaxing sail took us back toward the meeting point but we were given the opportunity to ride on the "tow net" which was fun. We then anchored for a while for more swimming and jumping/diving off the side of the boat. Too soon our time was up and we went back to port. I left a valuable onboard, and the company/crew were very responsive and accommodating in making arrangements for me to retrieve the towel. Thank you for a great trip!

Had son's 10th BD party with Charter1. 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.

Fantastic day on the water The trip was very well organized, and the various stops allowed for abundant playtime in the beautiful water. My kids loved kayaking and we saw lots of fish whilst snorkeling. The lunch was plentiful and tasty. The crew were very friendly and efficient, and they helped us all to have a great day out.

Excellent experience, crew were amazing, they totally catered to our groups needs and even though we had a windy day they did their best to protect us from us. Would absolutely use Charter 1 again

WHAT AN AMAZING CRUISE! Thank you Charter 1 for your absolute friendly service from beginning to end. We booked a private cruise for our team Christmas Party and are keen to do the same next year! Our skipper Jules and deckhand Kasper were just great! So accommodating, helpful and overall we could have not wished for a better Christmas Event. Thank you Aneska for assisting with booking this memorable event.

Excellent experience Lovely knowledgeable staff, excellent experience would definitely do this again. Swimming with sea lions was amazing

Incredible snorkel adventure It was a fantastic experience! Swimming with sea lions was incredible! The short sailing trip allowed us to visit the island too, and the crew was super friendly.

If you have not been out with Charter 1, I highly recommend you do so! Had a brilliant afternoon on the sail and snorkel at rottnest with a lovely cuppa afterwards. Awesome crew, lovely catamaran and really well arranged. Great comms as well when the date had to change due to the wind strength. Thanks, team!!

A 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!

Amazing day on the water Fantastic day out with a great crew. We were taken to the most beautiful location to snorkel. Weather allowed for sailing with the kids even able to help bring in the sail. So much fun !!

Rottnest at its best! Fantastic. A must do experience. Equipment was great. Snorkelling was amazing and Jules/Anuska were very welcoming. The sailing at the end was perfect way to finish.

Go on, spoil yourself! Cracking afternoon out on the water with the super friendly crew of Charter 1. Kids were invited to join in on raising/lowering the sails, as well as joining Captain Jules as he steered us home. Guided snorkelling was aaahmazing and a highlight of our family holiday. 8yo was easily able to keep up on the guided tour and loved the experience (frothing to go again). Plenty of marine life to view - an abundance of fish, sea lions, cheeky stingray, coral galore. Cargo net on the way back to the jetty capped off a perfect day. Would highly recommend to anyone! Thanks so much for having us!

Sunset Cruise We are a family who have been sailing for many years, but do not often get the opportunity to sail as a family together. This was a wonderful experience and we all really enjoyed the experience.

have done this for our staff Christmas party 3 years in a row, incredible experience and the staff are great!

Higjly Recommend Rottnest Sail & Snorkel I appreciated the clear communication right from the booking. We had tobe put on another day to originally booked and Jules was very accommodating. Lovely snorkel catering for all levels and made everyone feel included and safe. Highly recommend!! thanks crew and Jules we loved it!!

Fantastic service from a booking, information and advice perspective! (I was not onboard unfortuneately!) Cannot say enough about how great Erin and Tanya have been in organising a charter for our team at work - thank you thank you!

Great experience Great experience. Awesome snorkeling. Also provided ideas on other places to snorkel around Rotto which were fabulous.

Sunset Cruise with Charter 1 We scored a perfect evening for it, although the Skipper said he would have preferred a little bit more breeze... The crew were very cheerful and the boat was perfect, we also enjoyed a little bit of sightseeing around Fishing Boat Harbour before disembarking

Autumn Sunset Cruise Absolutely fantastic. Crew thoroughly enjoyed making this a great experience for everyone.Highly recommend.

Lovely boat and experience We were given a trip on the Capella as a gift - it was a great experience and well worth considering.

Would recommend 👌 This was a gift and was wonderful. The sunset tour was great. Would recommend for couples or friends.

Great relaxing way to end the day. What a wonderful evening trip. Perfect weather, friendly crew, great music choice, wonderful relaxed vibe, what a way to finish my working week. My partner and I were given this trip as a Christmas present, and what a great gift it was. Would happily do this trip again.

I already joined charter 1 twice on two different tours and the only thing I can say is: I absolutely loved it!! The crew was amazing and happy to answer every question. The first tour I did was the “Rottnest Island Snorkel & Sail” tour and it was amazing. It was a guided snorkelling tour, which made me feel really safe. The second tour was the Carnac Island tour which is probably my favourite. In the end the sea lions joined us in the water! But before that we went to the west side of the island to snorkel, which is not typical. The wind was too strong so they changed the plan to make it as comfortable for the guest as possible and it turned out absolutely fantastic. I can definitely recommend both tours to everyone who’s looking for a fun and relaxing day on the water. Thank you for these amazing day’s🤩

We booked The Sunset Cruise for a private event and it was absolutely amazing! From the time of booking to the day of the sail it was seem-less and stress free. Everyone on the night complimented what an awesome and fun time they had. Cannot recommend Charter1 enough f something a bit different and memorable.

Just had a Sunday half day charter with work and had a fantastic time! We had planned to head to Carnac Island but was a bit windy, however the team adjusted the location for what our team were interested in. Great staff! Highly recommend for a fantastic day out.

Had an absolutely wonderful time. The crew were so friendly and helpful and always looking after our safety. So much fun sitting on the net on the front of the boat. The net drag was fun too. Didn't even get sea sick. Loved it.

Sensational sunset cruise experience! We had a staff outing for over 20 people and decided to go out on the Charter 1 vessel - the service was exceptional and our team had an amazing time! We would highly recommend!!

I hired out Capella for a day trip to Carnac Island for family and friends. We had the most amazing day and the weather was perfect. The crew were so friendly, helpful and super informative! Thank you so much for a wonderful day snorkelling, kayaking and getting up on the SUP. Highly recommend.

Luca and Georgia were fantastic. Great experience snorkelling lots of info about the marine life Highly recommend

This is how you should experience Rottnest!!! Absolutely fantastic way to celebrate any occasion or just treat yourself to a wonderful and special day out. The entire team at Charter 1 are fantastic and the crew on the day were extremely friendly and accommodating. I highly recommend joining Jules and the team on a day out!

We hired Charter 1 for a daytrip to Carnac Island for an early Christmas party for our staff last year. A truly amazing experience! Thank you

Took my staff out on a team building fun day. It was excellent. Highly recommend!!

Just celebrated my birthday on Charter 1 with 25 of my amazing friends. What an amazing way to celebrate any occasion. This is an experience you won't regret. From the first time I contacted Charter 1, the experience was awesome. The boat is absolutely stunning with a lot more room than I thought. We were all very comfortable. The crew were , friendly, accommodating and kind. The only downside is that the day felt so short which just mean we were having the best time. I highly recommend Charter 1. I'll be a returning customer.

We did the snorkel and sail tour from Rotto last Monday and we cannot recommend it more! Luca and Georgia were the perfect hosts, the catamaran was spotless and we had the best time snorkeling, we were lucky and had sealions coming say hi as well! Thank you!!!

Did the Twilight cruise on Charter 1 at Rottnest, great weather, great boat, great crew, thanks Luca and Georgia the amazing deckie 👍👍

Had the most wonderful day out to Carnac island to celebrate my husbands 60 Th Birthday on 27/12/2020 with 30 family and friends.We swam , snorkeled, kayaked , paddle boarded and had great fun. The crew were professional and very helpful and a lot of fun and laughter was had by all. Would highly recommend Charter 1 and the beautiful Cappella for any special celebration!

Had a great time! The team was great with our group and catered to our plans and bays we wanted to visit for the day. Highly recommend!!!!!!

Thanks 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.

Wow! What an experience. Had our end of year staff "party" in October. Amazing weather, amazing crew. Can't wait to book another charter. Cant recommend it enough.

The amazing staff and crew at Charter 1 made my wife and I feel extra special, with their attention to detail, and personal service. Nothing seemed to much. The BBQ at the Basin was awesome. It was just a perfect day. I would recommend anyone who wants to feel like a rockstar to have a day out on the Capella. I would not hesitate to recommend this to anyone who wants to go for a day sail out of Fremantle or Rottnest.

Had an amazing experience, the staff was lovely 😊 Would definitely recommend and to book another.
