Wild Seafood Experience

Catch & Dine
Seafood Lunch Cruise

fresh mandurah lobster, from Ocean to plate

Nothing tastes better than fresh seafood, especially when you catch it yourself and someone cooks it for you! Introducing the Wild Seafood Experience ~ dining with the difference, on the water in Mandurah.

Western Rock Lobster (or ‘crayfish’, as it is commonly known in Australia) is a delicious delicacy of our local ocean. Mandurah has a 100-year history as a seafood hot spot in Western Australia. It is home to an abundance of crabs, lobsters, crayfish and many other mouthwatering delicacies.

Our interactive seafood lunch cruise takes you to experience this thriving and sustainable marine world, firsthand. Catch, learn, indulge and enjoy!

Lovely spacious boat with a friendly and informative crew. Starting with a cocktail then free-flowing bubbles, wine or beer and cool drinks. With expert supervision we pulled craypots and returned more crays to the ocean than were kept. A delicious 7-course meal with fresh grilled cray the headline dish. An incredible day full of laughter, especially pulling the pots.
