About this tour
Aboard a 69-foot vessel in Rottnest Island's sheltered bays, you'll work through a seven-course seafood degustation crafted by executive chef Tony Howell using Western Australian rock lobster and local catch. The four-hour cruise pairs each course with Margaret River wines, craft beers, and cocktails, all included. Between courses, float on the upper sun deck, swim in gin-clear water, or help the crew haul in your own lobster. Service is white-glove dining on open ocean.

What to expect
You'll board via an angled ramp and navigate ladders to reach the sun decks—the vessel moves noticeably in open water, so balance matters. Once anchored in a sheltered bay, the rhythm is unhurried: a course appears, you eat, then you're free to strip to swimmers and float on mats or dive into transparent water. The chef orchestrates timing so you're never hungry or bored. Crew are attentive and genuinely keen to involve you in lobster-catching if you're game; if not, watching is equally entertaining. Plan for roughly 4 hours; bring reef-safe sunscreen and a light cover-up.
