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.

Relax on our 60-ft pleasure boat, Reel Affair II for an afternoon of indulgence and adventure:

  • Enjoy the thrill of hauling in your own Western Rock Lobster, with guidance from our crew. Handle and learn about these fascinating creatures, which are fished completely sustainably. Find out about our local conservation efforts and why we are the healthiest fishery in the world.
  • Dine on deluxe 7-course lunch menu showcasing local ingredients, your fresh-caught Western Rock Lobster and seafood delicacies from across Western Australia, created on deck by a private chef.
  • Sip on fine West Australian wines from the world-famous Margaret River wine region, along with a selection of premium beverages, all served complimentary.
  • As you cruise, witness Mandurah’s beautiful canals and waterways, where you may spot wild dolphins at play, plus pelicans, ospreys and other fascinating birdlife.¹

We attended the seafood cruise today and wow what can we say. Amazing food along with great staff. They were all very accommodating and so friendly. If you are ever visiting Mandurah, this is highly recommended.
