There's 18 tickets left so get in quick!
What better way to relax post-swim than being surrounded by all of your supporters as you relax and take in the huge accomplishment that is swimming the channel (especially if you attempted 2024!)
Whether it's a solo or team swim, you've worked hard for months to get here, so take a moment to enjoy it. We promise to do all the hard work on this one 😉

We're a family owned and run business. Like kids who grow up on the land, our kids have grown up on these waters. Introducing Lucca! 👦 He may be pint-sized, but he sure knows his way around rotto and his favourite boat Capella. Lucca brings an extra set of helping hands on occasion this January 👋 If you see him, say G'day, it'll make his day 😀
Lucca loves his soccer, food, and hanging with his mates. His favourite bay is Parker Point & favourite marine animal are sharks (though is yet to meet any!). And his favourite thing on Rottnest are Bakery Jam donuts 🍩🤤

Exciting news!!..... Are you taking on the Rotto Swim in Feb? ⁣
Charter 1 is proud to announce an official partnership with the South32 Rottnest Channel Swim team for the 2024 Event. The bold and beautiful 'Capella' and her highly visible 17m mast will provide a beacon of colour to help guide the way for the 2,700 swimmers who will swim the 19.7km crossing on Feb 24. Stationed at the 18km gate, opposite Phillip Rock, Capella is not only an official gate marker it's the little ray of sunshine that says "you're almost there... just keep swimming!" 🐟🏊‍♀️

After official proceedings have ended, a 90 minute Sunset Sail will be running from 6.15pm, for those keen to chill on the bows after a long and exciting day. With ferries operating until late that evening, there's never been a better time to book this experience which normally otherwise ends after the last ferry. If you've got supporters coming over, tag them to let them know!

Having supported many swimmers in the past, Charter 1 is excited to take on this official role in 2024. We look forward to seeing you on February 24!

Have you explored the snorkelling around Rottnest Island yet?! #rottnest #wadjemup #westernaustralia #snorkelling #underwater #perth #ocean #summer

6 reasons to book a Rottnest Snorkel & Sail tour: - Stunning Marine Life: Rottnest Island is famous for its clear waters and diverse marine life. With abundant fish life and marine species, you’re bound to be in awe of the waters surrounding the island. - Expert Guides and Experienced Crew: Our crew are experienced on the water, and offer an abundance of knowledge about the island and its surrounds to help provide you with the best experience possible. - Exclusive Access: Our vessel allows us to access unique bays and snorkelling sites that are difficult for land-based travellers and larger vessels to reach. - Small Group Atmosphere: With smaller groups, our tours offer a more intimate and personalised charter. - All-Inclusive Experience: We provide snorkelling equipment, paddle boards and other equipment so you don’t have to stress about packing everything with you! - Family-Friendly: Our tours are suitable for the whole family, offering both adventure and relaxation for all ages!

Is this the ultimate Rottnest Island day trip?🏝️🌊 Here’s how we would plan a day on the island: 1. Catch an early ferry to the island - Ferries run from both Fremantle and Hillary’s, and getting to the island earlier means more time to enjoy the island! 2. Grab yourself a coffee, açai bowl or breakfast at one of the island’s stunning cafes, and enjoy it by one of the beautiful beaches nearby. 3. Board a snorkel & sail tour! We may be biased, but a guided snorkel & sail tour is one of the best ways to see the island, exploring hard to reach spots and the best Rottnest has to offer in style! Tours last around 3 hours, so a morning tour should have you back just in time for lunch. 4. Have lunch at one of the island’s epic restaurants. With a huge variety of options, you’re bound to find a restaurant to suit everyone! 5. Kick back and relax at a protected beach for the afternoon! With wind permitting, Salmon bay is a great location to spend the afternoon either relaxing or exploring the stunning waters off the beach. 6. Wrap up the day with a ferry back home, admiring the scenic views on the way. What would you change for your ideal day trip?

Is this the best snorkelling location close to Perth?! Just a short ferry from the mainland, the waters surrounding Rottnest Island offer some of the best snorkelling around, and we explore the best it has to offer on our Snorkel & Sail tours! Where is your favourite place to snorkel?

Sunset Sailing 💛⛵️ Each one always as unique as the next. Always a beautiful way to end the day. Who will you be bringing onboard this season? Our 2024-25 season commences 1st November. Limited to 24 people per sail. Book Your Place Today!
