The Bremer Bay deep sea canyon lies just off the small town of Bremer Bay. The discovery of this spot is relatively new, so you’ll be one of the first in the world to witness the magic of it. Here in these nutrient rich waters we’ll find sharks, dolphins, sperm whales, giant squid and even killer whales that we’ll watch from the bow of the True North. Then we’ll anchor in the turquoise waters of Bremer Bay, to relax, swim, snorkel or fish.

Then, as our fishers catch tonight’s dinner, we’ll visit the settlement of Dunsborough followed by an afternoon anchorage in Eagle Bay. Here, enjoy the stunning white sand and azure water with a beach cocktail and sunset.

Join us on an unbelievable experience swimming with wild dolphins in the the sheltered waters of Rockingham’s bays and islands. Then, head off to the protected nature reserve, Rottnest Island.
