Return ferry ride from Perth Harbour to Fremantle with blurry windows that prevent photography

This is essentially a ferry ride from Perth Harbour to Fremantle and back. Took plenty of photos out the windows but they're all blurred by the glass. There was some commentary during the trip, but hardly justifies taking a tour boat compared to a normal ferry.
A nice relaxing cruise on...

A nice relaxing cruise on the Swan river. A nice way to see Perth from the water. I was astonished at the number of marinas.

We were looking for something to do on our last day in Perth before flying back home and found this. What a great way to spend a few hours - the cruise was so relaxing and we were given great commentary along the way. What a great end to an amazing holiday!

Great trip with some narration. We booked round trip Perth to Freemantle without the lunch option and it was very pleasant. Great views and nice to be in an air conditioned boat out on the Swan River. The kiosk did not mention the no lunch option but we found it on-line. You can even take your own lunch. Most seats are at tables. Highly recommend and economical.
Beautiful city and Harbour views

Beautiful views and wonderful weather. The commentary could have done with more historical information in my opinion.
