We still have 19 degree winter days here in Perth.
If the weather looks good, do contact us to see if it’s possible to book a boat within 24 hours.
We want you to experience the changes on the Swan River throughout the seasons.
Let’s get Nauti 🛥️

Compliance, compliance!!
There’re always changes that cost us more money to run our business. This time it’s money and weight.
From August, when the new season starts, the Picnic Boat, Early Riser and Sunset Cruise will only be able to take 7 people in the boat. No longer 8.
Please bear this in mind when booking.
Thank you for your understanding.

Would you believe it’s WINTER??
Well, this is normal for us in Perth ☀️
Don’t let a little bad weather get in your way of planning for these glorious days on the Swan River.
Last month before we shut down in July and half of August and it’s my birthday month, so come on out for $207 +bf.
31/05/2024
This weather!!!
One minute it’s raining, then sunny, then windy.
At least we got one group out today. She’s been Nauti before🤩
If you need to reschedule or if you are thinking about booking a boat, please check the weather (wind gusts and sun/rain) and let me know 24 hrs before (not 48hrs is it is now).
27/05/2024
I was going to promote WA Day to get you out on the boat, but…..have you seen the forecast????
Well it doesn’t look like we’ll be operating for the coming week which gives me more time to work on the second boat.
I really hope the farmers will get some of this rain.
Stay dry and safe, and I’ll see you on the other side.
26/05/2024
Oh to be young again 🤩
Perfect day for a hens party 🥂 on the Swan River. It’s glassy atm.
I love how they are all coordinating.
They brought the naughty to Nauti as well
Enjoy your party, girls 💍🥂
24/05/2024
After 6 years I’m finally going home and I’m taking my girls with me🤩 I can’t wait to see my family again and explore all the new things in Oslo.
Nauti’s season is from mid August to June, so we are heading off for July.
This means I won’t be taking any calls, but will answer emails and I’ll probably organise the new season so you can book whilst I’m away for season 8.
Remember that we’ll have the second boat ready if you pre-book “Feelin’ Nauti” and take advantage of our launch deal.
24/05/2024
Want a deal?
We’re at the end of our 7th season and lots of work is ahead of us to prep for season 8.
To give you something to look forward to we are offering a pre-launch deal!🛥️
Book “Feelin’ Nauti” for 2 hours at $286 and get 4 hours hire. Link for booking form in bio.
Pre-Launch deal is starting today and finish on June 30.

Feelin’ Nauti is a barefoot lounge boat suitable for up to 4 adults.

I love this idea 💡
My guest today turned 50 earlier this year and she will try out everything boating in the 12 months. She’s already been to Antarctica 🤯 I’m honored to be on the list 🛥️🥂
20/05/2024
The Autumn weather has arrived, but it’s still 25 degrees and beautifully still out on the river.
Boating is not just about sunny blue skies, but about the company you travel with and the experience.
With 360 degree views you won’t miss a thing.
19/05/2024
6 hour trip on the Swan today.
This gives you multiple options to go all the way up river or down to South Perth, or just pot around enjoying the scenery.
We have May 25 become available for either a 2 or 3 hour hire. Don’t miss out!!
18/05/2024
2 birthdays and a proposal onboard today.
It turned out to be a really good day on the Swan 🤩🥳💍
17/05/2024
Today my main focus has been on family. 17 May or 17mai as we call it, is our National Day in Norway 🇳🇴 🇳🇴🇳🇴. We celebrate our constitution and we greet every Norwegian by saying “congratulations” to them - “gratulerer med dagen”😊
We used to have the best celebrations here in Perth when my kids were little, there was hotdogs (), Norwegian waffles and cakes, kids games and a parade in the city. Unfortunately this has all stopped after the adults took over from the students.
Today we managed to be together🥰. Youngest had studies and the oldest worked from home. I had no bookings (too gusty today anyway).
I’m back online again on Monday, but will try and answer all emails and texts over the weekend.
Happy Norway Day 🇳🇴

The Swan River is calling 📣
It is absolutely stunning out here today.
This morning we picked up the old lady from South Perth Yacht Club and took her back to Ascot Waters (she is potentially going to be a new service I’ll offer).
The Swan was so calm and hardly anyone out.
Upon our return, Nauti’s customers were ready to embark on their upper river experience 🤩
Weekdays in Autumn are just the best time to go boating 🛥️🍂 and remember that you are saving $100 on a 2 hour hire in May and June💰
15/05/2024
Next catch up is on the boat💯
Do you run a book club or maybe a wine club and want to try something new?
With a WA Seniors card you get a discount on our 8 seater boat during the week.
With calm waters and low gusts, it’s the perfect time to take your crew out in the Swan River.
14/05/2024
I designed a new steering console for “Feelin’ Nauti”. It’s half the size of “G6”.
Some small adjustments are still needed and then it’s done.
Do you want a phone and cup holder on top? The throttle will be on the right hand side of the console and “out of the way”.
The stereo is built into the gunwale on your left hand side close to the lounging area. It will be the job of the crew to pair the Bluetooth 🎶🎵
13/05/2024
Ahoy all Nauties!!!
Do you have a photo you’d like to share from when you were out on the boat?
We’d love to see how you experienced the Swan River with your crew 🛥️🥂🧺
DM your best photo and we’ll draw a winner of a 2 hour hire on the new boat next season.
With over 300 hires so far this season, we’ll choose a winner when we have received min 50 entries.
Get your photos ready and start sending them through with your deets.

Happy Mother’s Day 🥰🌸
The last hire has just set off for today😊 It’s been great seeing all the mums and their families out enjoying the serenity.
There’s no celebration for me as I’ve been on the jetty all day and as my girls don’t live with me now (as I’m without my own home), we’ll celebrate on May 17th as it’s also our National Day 🇳🇴 and our Rotti, Raven, turns 7. This day is therefor not available to book.
If you haven’t got your mum anything yet, remember that our 2 hrs for $207+bf is still available in June. Book a date or buy an instant gift card, cause we will offer this price for August and September too😊
11/05/2024
A beautiful trio out today. Perfect water condition 👏🏼
The app is working pretty good and we’re getting great feedback upriver. We’re just waiting for someone to go down river now to see if it’s just as great down there.

It’s been a busy, but really nice weekend.
I love the diversity of people coming out to enjoy the Autumn weather but also the Swan River on our electric boat.
May weekends are booked out, except for May 26.
Weekdays are available and remember a 2 hour hire is only $207+bf.
We have blankets in the boat for when it becomes too crisp on the water😊
If you are a senior, got kids in school (mums day on the river), have family over from overseas or over east or are celebrating a special day, you’ll have the river to yourselves on a weekday 🧺🥂🍻🥳🛥️
03/05/2024
NEWS!
We are testing out a new GPS which you can follow on your phone.
It will have ~
⚓️ places to moor
☕️ cafes you can stop at
📸 places of interest
🚫 restricted zones
(This will grow)
In principle, you need to keep the boat out of the red restricted 🚫 zones but still understand navigation markers as they won’t show on the map
As you can see here, we need more testing and I hope you will help us out🤩
Our maps will show navigation on the river whilst the GPS app will guide you away from harm.

This is Autumn Boating 🤩
The last couple of days have been pretty sh*t (thoughI do love the rain and thunder), but we are banking on May being awesome with low gusts, sunny and flat water.
All weekends except for Sunday 26 is booked out in May. But, all weekdays are available.
We won’t be keeping the discounted price of $207+bf for long, so this is your chance to book a 2 hour hire and get a feel for the Swan River boating life.
With the Weather Protection, you’ll get a full refund (less the $50) should the weather turn bad.
Come out and explore the river, the birdlife and enjoy your friends and family on board our electric picnic boat.

Autumn is well and truly here with crisp mornings 🍂
Remember to bring a jacket or a warm jumper for your morning hires. I also recommend a thermos with coffee or hot chocolate as well ☕️ or stop at for a takeaway.
We won’t stop boating until the weather tells us to. Check our real time calendar for available dates on our website (weekends are almost booked out in May)!!!!😳
