How to find us

We're at the jetty out the front of The Bay Cafe on the Eastern Foreshore, opposite 9 Mandurah Terrace, between the Kwillena Gabi estuary pool and the traffic bridge.

Boarding starts 15 minutes before the scheduled departure time. Please allow time to park and walk down: if you miss the cruise, tickets are forfeited.

Parking on the foreshore is in short supply most weekends, and traffic on the freeway can add to the trip, so it's worth leaving a bit earlier than you think you need to.

Missed the cruise?

If you miss the cruise we've held the seats for you and lost the opportunity to resell your tickets, which have now been forfeited. You can email us and we will consider availability to let you go on a future cruise, however please be aware that's unlikely to be the next cruise, and on busy weekends will need to be on a future date.

Getting aboard

A smooth sloped ramp runs down to the ship and there are no gangway steps to climb. All you step over is the lip of the deck, less than the height of a normal stair. Once aboard it’s a flat deck to the seating..

A wheelchair can't be pushed aboard, but once you're seated we can fold it and stow it for the cruise. Our accessibility page has the full detail. If anything there leaves you unsure, ask us before you book and we'll give you a straight answer.
