Luxe Seafood Cruise at Rottnest Island

This is a premium Rottnest Island cruise built around food, drinks and time on the water. You’ll board a 69-foot boat for a deluxe dining experience featuring a seven-course degustation menu focused on fresh local seafood and Western Australian flavours, with drinks included throughout. It’s not a budget outing, but if you’re keen to splash out on a more polished day trip with good food, calm bay scenery and a bit of downtime between courses, this is what you’re paying for.

You’ll cruise through Rottnest’s bright turquoise waters with the crew looking after service onboard while your meal is prepared by the chef. The experience includes a welcome cocktail, Margaret River still and sparkling wines, beers and non-alcoholic drinks served as you go. Depending on conditions and the trip format, you may be able to join in catching lobster or simply watch from the boat. When the vessel anchors in a sheltered island bay, there’s time to swim, float on the large mats or stay dry and take in the views from one of the three decks. Before booking, note that you need to manage an angled boarding ramp, staircase-style steps with handrails, a narrow walkway to the bow, and being on open ocean water.
