5.00We had a wonderful day on the Swan River lunch cruise to Fremantle and return, boat was very comfortable and clean, great service, friendly staff. . great commentary. Clarity of commentary was a little soft, could have been louder and clearer. Very nice luncheon, plenty of lovely fresh food on offer and a good variety.

Whoops forgot the lunch

4.00Fairly disorganised onboarding experience. Was late leaving and then they had to turn around as they forgot the food. Luckily they remembered early on the trip as the food was delicious. Once we got underway crew were a little bit more organised but still seemed chaotic with drinks and forgetting orders might need more training on the basics it seems. Well worth doing to have a scenic view of Perth and Fremantle as it was our last day so very relaxing. The crew, while friendly, seem to be either new or poorly trained.
Lovely location for lunch
