Private charter
Have the whole ship to yourselves, birthdays, work functions, hens and farewells, out on Mandurah's water with your own captain and pirate crew.
Private hire means the boat is yours: no other passengers, no fixed script, and a crew who will pitch the day at whatever your group is there for. Most groups take two hours, which is long enough for a proper lap of the canals with time to sit down and eat.
You bring the food and drinks. There is no bar and no liquor licence on board, so what you carry aboard is what you have, and BYO is only available on the last hire of the day.
