Wild West Charters
Discover Perth Like Never Before with Wild West Charters! Hop aboard our custom-built 2006 jet boat, designed for speed, comfort, and unforgettable experiences on the Swan River and beyond. Departing from Elizabeth Quay, this high-powered vessel—fueled by twin 500 HP Iveco diesel inboards—reaches cruising speeds up to 30 knots, getting you further, faster.
Accommodating up to 14 guests, our tours are perfect for families, friends, and adventure seekers of all ages. Inside and outside speakers, a quality audio system, and an onboard toilet ensure a smooth, comfortable ride. Captain David McDonald and his dedicated crew specialize in dolphin watching, eco tours, and canal boat tours, bringing years of experience and a genuine passion for Perth’s stunning natural beauty.
Choose from a variety of experiences, including 90-minute Swan River Adventure Tours, 45-minute Eco Tours, and weekend Sunset Cruises. Private charters are also available for a more tailored outing.
Expect up-close encounters with local wildlife—from black swans and ospreys to dolphins and, seasonally, sea lions and migrating whales. Our AMSA-surveyed vessels are maintained to the highest standards, and we welcome kids, pets, and responsible alcohol use (just no red wine, please).
Whether you're visiting Perth or rediscovering your backyard, Wild West Charters promises a fun, fast, and scenic ride you won’t forget.
