Discover the Magic of Albany from the Water!
There is no better way to experience summer in Albany than by boat. Albany is home to pristine beaches, turquoise waters, and the most beautiful bays in Australia. Feel the fresh sea breeze in your hair and smell the salt in the air as we cruise around Princess Royal Harbour and King George Sound on an unforgettable coastal adventure.
Why You’ll Love This Tour
- Rich Local History: Step back in time to 1627 when the first explorers arrived, or 1914 when the first ANZAC troops departed Albany for WWI. Gaze at the historic Whaling Station in Frenchman Bay and get up close to the shipwreck of the Cheynes II, a 440-tonne steam whale chaser.
- Intimate & Personalised: Travel aboard the “Young Salty Dog”, a safe, stable twin-hull catamaran (ex-Sea Rescue vessel). With a maximum of 12 passengers, Captain Mark Muscat provides a highly personalised, crowd-free experience.
- Spectacular Sights: Navigate through the Ataturk Channel, past Point King Lighthouse and Point Possession. View the ANZAC Centre on Mount Clarence from the sea, and marvel at the turquoise waters of Mistaken Island, Brambles, Goode Beach, Middleton Beach, and even Whalers Cove (a local nudist beach!).
- Fascinating Landmarks: See Camp Quaranup, built in 1875 as a quarantine station, and the powder magazine on Geake Island.
Onboard Comforts & Perks
- BYO Friendly: Bring your own food and drinks (including alcohol) to enjoy on the water.
