About this tour
Escape the school-holiday crowds on this unhurried 90-minute voyage through Mandurah's waterways. You'll captain the pirate vessel, blast the water cannons, and drift past dolphins, pelicans and cormorants at a pace that actually lets you absorb the landscape. Midweek sailings mean fewer passengers, calmer waters, and room to breathe—bring your own food and drink, settle in, and watch the estuary reveal itself.

What to expect
You'll board a working pirate ship and get hands-on time steering and operating the cannons—it's participatory, not passive. The extended timeframe means less rushing between photo stops; instead you'll cruise at a leisurely clip, giving wildlife time to reveal itself and the estuary's subtler details to register. The boat stays on protected waters, so conditions are typically gentle. Bring sustenance since there's no café onboard, and expect to share the experience with a smaller passenger group than weekend cruises draw.
