So of course we can accommodate some food intolerances as far as reasonably practical, but please inform us with at least 24 hours’ notice (but the more notice the better). The boat we cook on has very limited storage space, so notification of food intolerances on the day is unlikely to be able to be accommodated, as logistics are planned in advance”

5.00We had an unforgettable time hauling our very own lobsters straight from the sea, an adventure that made lunch all the more satisfying! The crew was helpful and friendly making the entire experience lively and fun. My family loved every moment. It wasn’t just a meal — it was a hands-on, wild seafood experience that left us with amazing memories.
From Fantastic Sunshine to a Stormy Adventure- One for the memory books

5.00What began under brilliant sunshine transformed into a stormy experience — and yet, it was nothing short of extraordinary, thanks to an exceptional team: Takiya, Tammy, Ilya, Craig, and Wade. Taking the risk of a winter food cruise already carries a thrill of its own, the kind that comes with dancing weather forecasts and the promise of something different. But it was this remarkable crew who elevated the journey into something unforgettable. Through every twist — from calm seas to sudden swells — they ensured every aspect of the cruise was not only smooth but deeply memorable. From the warmth of their hospitality to the precision in planning and the creative culinary experiences along the way, their attention to detail shone through even when the skies didn’t. What could have been a challenging trip became a celebration of resilience, service, and joy — a testament to what’s possible when passion and professionalism meet. This wasn’t just a cruise. It was a story — and we’ll be telling it for years to

5.00What a great trip - immensely enjoyable and a must for all travellers who can afford it. The staff, particularly Takaya and the chef, were excellent; the seafood and menu were out of this world; the activities, especially the pulling up of the crayfish pots, were exciting; it was a great way to see the Mandurah harbour. I highly recommend this tour/experience.

5.00We had an awesome time on this cruise. We were fortunate enough to have Col as our skipper and sisters as first mate and chef. They were informative, friendly and very engaging. The cruise itself was very informative regarding the sustainability of the lobster in WA. The Margaret River Wines are very complimentary to the food. The food was so fresh and absolutely delicious, prepared and cooked to perfection. All round it was a fabulous experience and have recommended it to everyone we have spoken to. Make sure to bring your appetite.
Brilliant!

5.00The wild seafood experience exceeded my highest expectations! The food was amazing but what absolutely made this a highlight and one for the memory banks were our hosts Shane, Claire, and Tekiya. They could not have done more to make the day interesting fun and enjoyable, even in the face of challenging weather – you guys rock!

5.00This is a really excellant cruise. Everything taken care of. If the weather is a little rough tge pots are in shallower water. Having a go at lifting a pot is great to see what you are catching to eat. The food on board is out if this world. Goid drink on board too. The crew are very good no issue is a problem. In my mind value for money
