- ABOUT US
Escape Fremantle for four hours of sailing, swimming and adventure at Carnac Island.
Cruise across the waters from Fremantle to Carnac Island aboard a luxury sailing catamaran, then drop anchor and make the most of the island's beautiful turquoise waters.
There is time to swim, snorkel and simply enjoy being on the water, with the chance to encounter Australian sea lions and other marine life along the way.
With a maximum of 24 guests, this is a more intimate way to experience one of Perth's most accessible offshore adventures.

The journey is part of the experience.
Leave Fremantle behind and sail towards Carnac Island, enjoying the changing coastal scenery as you cross the water. Once at the island, the boat anchors in suitable conditions and you can get into the water for a swim or snorkel.
The waters around Carnac Island are known for their clarity and marine life, while the island itself provides an impressive backdrop to a few hours spent away from the city.
You can be as active or as relaxed as you like.
Swim. Snorkel. Sail. Explore. Or simply enjoy the ride.
Carnac Island is an important habitat for Australian sea lions, and they are one of the attractions of visiting the island by boat.
Dolphins and seabirds may also be encountered around the island and during the journey from Fremantle.
Wildlife sightings are never guaranteed and animals should always be observed responsibly. Conditions, wildlife behaviour and access around the island can change, so your crew will advise what is appropriate on the day.
The attraction is not a staged wildlife encounter. You're visiting a wild marine environment and seeing what nature decides to provide.
This is a particularly good choice if you want a small-group sailing experience rather than a large sightseeing boat.
❖ Four hours on the water
❖ Sail from Fremantle to Carnac Island
❖ Luxury sailing catamaran
❖ Maximum of 24 guests
❖ Time for swimming and snorkelling
❖ Beautiful turquoise waters
❖ Possibility of seeing Australian sea lions and other marine life
❖ An easy half-day experience from Perth or Fremantle
It is long enough to feel like a genuine escape, without taking an entire day out of your Perth itinerary.
One of the great advantages of this Carnac Island sailing tour is its accessibility.
Fremantle is easily reached from Perth, while Carnac Island itself is only a short cruise offshore. That makes this an excellent option for travellers who want to get out onto the Indian Ocean without committing to a full-day excursion.
You could sail to Carnac Island in the morning and still have plenty of time left to explore Fremantle or Perth afterwards.
BLUESUN INSIGHT
Carnac Island is at its best from the water. You could simply look at the island on a map, but that rather misses the point. The sailing, the open water, the chance of wildlife and the feeling of leaving Fremantle behind are what make this experience worthwhile. For a half-day Perth experience, this is a particularly easy one to recommend.
We recommend bringing:
❖ Swimwear and a towel
❖ Sun protection, including a hat and sunscreen
❖ Comfortable clothing suitable for being on the water
❖ A camera or phone for photographs
❖ A light layer for the return journey, depending on the weather
Please check the individual booking information for the latest details on what is provided onboard.
Things to note:
The Carnac Island Half Day Sail is a marine experience and is therefore subject to weather and sea conditions.
Wildlife sightings cannot be guaranteed, and activities such as swimming and snorkelling are dependent on conditions and the advice of the crew.
Departure times, vessel arrangements and inclusions may change. Please check the current booking information at the time of reservation.
