Swan River Boat Hire

Cruise and Party on the Swan River

Gather your friends, family, or colleagues for an unforgettable boat party on the Swan River. With space for 32, a bunch of inclusions, and the best crew, you’re guaranteed a good time with Nautica Charters.

Choose your pickup location, and we’ll cruise down the Swan River before anchoring up for some water-based fun! Swan River boat charters offer a wide range of possibilities, with full or half-day timeslots available.

BYO drinks, order catering, or bring food for the BBQ and have our crew handle your cook-up. Relax on our second-storey sundeck, go for a refreshing swim, and party the night away.

We have weekend and weekday availability year round, but weekend availability in Summer is very limited and books up quickly, so secure your Swan River boat cruise with Nautica today!

Swan River Boat Hire FAQs

The beauty of cruising the Swan River is the options are almost endless! Choose your pickup point, and whether you want to head towards Fremantle or Perth. As we head to your anchor spot (usually Rocky Bay), you’ll have the opportunity to view the river line, the Perth city, King’s Park, and maybe even dolphins.
Once we anchor up, our crew will get your BBQ fired up (or your catering served), while the drinks flow. This is your opportunity to swim, lounge on the ocean mats, and make the most of your boat party!

Swan River boat cruises also give you the option of heading inland to the Swan Valley. There, you can hop off the boat at various wineries and sample delicious wines from WA’s oldest wine region.
