Activities in Perth don't get better than sunset sailing on a world-class luxury catamaran! Enjoy a magnificent WA sunset - the perfect romantic twilight setting for two! Boat Hire, Eco & Snorkelling Tours, Day & Overnight Private Charter on Perth's Largest Sailing Catamaran.

Sailing towards the Sunset with my Wife whilst sipping on complementarity wine, snacking on canopies and feeling the sea breeze on your face are the things dreams are made of.This 2 hour cruise was perfect for a birthday gift. The crew were incredibly friendly and accommodating of requests. BYO was a bonus and the freedom to move around the catamaran was great.
Services
Charter 1 along with our signature vessel Capella is a leading charter and tour operator in Perth and WA. Highly recognizable by her bold yellow colour, Capella has been making waves and headlines for over 17 years. Our crew pride themselves on offering the highest quality experiences with every single one of our guests.
Double the hulls, double the fun! Sailing catamarans provide the perfect platform for creating fond, lasting memories on the water. Whether its a birthday, corporate event, or just a fun day out with friends, here's a list of reasons to consider chartering a sailing catamaran this summer. The real space advantage of catamarans comes from what is called the 'bridgedeck' - the platform above the waterline that connects the two hulls.
There are plenty of options when it comes to chartering a boat in Perth and WA, but none quite like us! Our beautiful vessel Capella, or 'The Yellow Cat' as she's affectionately known around town, has been providing guests with unique and unforgettable experiences on and in the water for 17 years. Eco sails, sunset sails, private charters, overnight escapes, snorkel tours and more.
Capella is a modern 12.5 metre sailing catamaran with several design innovations which set her apart from the rest. A Schionning Cosmos 1250, designed by Andy Jensen, no less, she is purpose built for entertaining. She boast a comfortable indoor saloon that can seat 12, with 360 degree views inside and out, plus a large stern deck and huge bow space for further 25 (total max capacity 37 adults).
For private charters Capella is licenses to carry 40 passengers. We generally advice no more than 37 adults so that an extra crew member can be onboard if required (most charters have 2 crew members, but we may use 3 if required). We find that 25 is a comfortable number of guests but up to 37 is certainly possible.

Just celebrated my birthday on Charter 1 with 25 of my amazing friends. What an amazing way to celebrate any occasion. This is an experience you won't regret. From the first time I contacted Charter 1, the experience was awesome.
The boat is absolutely stunning with a lot more room than I thought. We were all very comfortable. The crew were , friendly, accommodating and kind. The only downside is that the day felt so short which just mean we were having the best time.
I highly recommend Charter 1. I'll be a returning customer.

Thanks to Jules, Lisa, Luca and Georgia for an amazing experience on board the Capella! We hired the Capella for a private charter for our group and couldn't have been happier with the experience we all had. Carnac Island is absolutely beautiful! Highly recommend.

The amazing staff and crew at Charter 1 made my wife and I feel extra special, with their attention to detail, and personal service. Nothing seemed to much. The BBQ at the Basin was awesome. It was just a perfect day. I would recommend anyone who wants to feel like a rockstar to have a day out on the Capella.
I would not hesitate to recommend this to anyone who wants to go for a day sail out of Fremantle or Rottnest.

Brilliant twilight sail from Fremantle Fishing Boat Harbour. Jules, Erin and the Charter 1 team were great hosts and managed to find a few whales for us to see. Highly recommend booking your next team activity with Charter 1.

Had an absolutely amazing time with Jules and Lilly. One of the best things I've ever done in Perth in the 7 years that I've lived here. 100% worth every penny, wish it went for longer!

We recently had our company Christmas function on Charter 1 and were impressed from start to finish. Jules and his crew are extremely accommodating, knowledgeable and friendly. The yellow catamaran is a great place to spend the day to chill out and enjoy some time together along the beautiful WA coastline. If you are looking for a great charter company for a special event I cannot recommend Charter 1 enough.

We have now enjoyed two glorious experiences on board Capella (Charter 1) and have had the best time. The boat is spacious and the staff were fantastic. I can't rave enough about it!! We'll definitely be back.
