Easy As
Pick your boat and date, book in a couple of minutes. All you need is a Recreational Skipper's Ticket.
Hook the boat up to your car and launch at Leeuwin or Point Walter ramp nearby, any vehicle that tows 2,000kg.
No car, no worries. We put the boat in the water at East Fremantle or Woodman Point, step aboard and take off.
Where You Can Go
Why Hire
All of the day on the water, none of the ownership.
A full day on the water for far less than a boat costs to own, and you only pay for the days you actually use.
No servicing, no rego, no repairs, no trailer. Turn up, take the keys and go.
Thinking about buying? Spend a day in a bow rider or a plate-alloy fisher first and find out what actually suits you.
No pen, no shed, no boat taking up the driveway. Hire it when you want it.
The boat is fuelled, kitted and ready when you arrive. Hand it back at the end of the day and head home.
Visiting from interstate or here for a short stay, hire a boat for the day and see Perth from the water. Or skipper out and visit a friend on their boat.

Word On The Water
"Hiring 'Derek' the boat was up there with one of the best days ever for my family. From the moment I made contact, the process was so smooth and easy."
"We rented Derek in March for a day fishing on the Swan River with family over from the UK. Super easy to book, and Nate was very helpful and informative. Really recommend Fremantle Boat Hire."
"Thanks for the day's rental of your bow rider 'Merv'. An amazing day on the Swan River to Elizabeth Quay and all the way to the wineries. Excellent, professional support and advice. We will be back."
"'Derek' the boat was awesome! All the gear, comfortable, easy to operate, everything you need for a great day."
"Simple and effective booking. The boat was exactly as described and perfect for a relaxing day on the river. A perfect walk on, walk off experience. Highly recommended."
"Nate was early and our boat was ready to go before our scheduled arrival. We headed over to Rotto for a day on the water, then cruised the river around to Point Walter. We had the best time."
"As a boating novice only recently getting my skipper's ticket, I was made to feel comfortable from the start, brilliant to deal with."
"We hired 'Merv' for the Rottnest Channel Swim and could not fault the boat, Nate's enthusiasm or the whole process. Nate honestly felt like he was part of the team."

Before You Book
Yes, you'll need a WA Recreational Skipper's Ticket (or your state's equivalent) to skipper the boat. Visiting from overseas for under 3 months? Your home ticket is usually fine, just contact us first.
The Swan and Canning river system is the classic day out, and the boats are not restricted to the river. Cockburn Sound, Rottnest and beyond are on the table. Your permitted area is confirmed with you at handover.
A $1,000 refundable security deposit applies to each hire, returned after the boat comes back in good shape.
Absolutely, fishing is welcome (please rinse the boat down after), and BYO picnic, snacks and refreshments are encouraged. See the FAQ for the full what-to-bring list.
