About this experience

Watch Fremantle, the Port and Harbour come alive with a kaleidoscope of colors as we journey out into the waters of Cockburn Sound and raise the sails just in time for sunset. Watch the day turn into night and the stars come out to shine!

Enjoy a glass of bubbles and nibble on complimentary antipasto as you settle in with your loved one or friends for the next 2 hours. Keep an eye out for pods of dolphins or humpback whales on their southern migration (Sept-Nov).

This luxury appointed sailing catamaran is a blue-water vessel noted for her stable ride and huge deck space, being nearly twice the width of a single hull vessel. Tour numbers on this experience are capped at 24 to ensure everyone has space to sit and relax. BYO is also permitted meaning no extra costs once onboard.

Note: Time of departure varies due to sunset times changing each month - please check when booking. Tour is suitable for ages 15+. Ocean sailing is wind and weather dependent.
