What you can expect
The excitement of taking a boat out on the water and sailing it yourself is unbeatable. Whether you’re a Perth local or a tourist, captaining a Hobie Wave catamaran on the Swan River is the perfect adventure. You’ll have an hour on the water on a Hobie Wave that can carry up to four people, so round up your crew and get out there! Even if you have zero sailing experience, this is the ideal vessel for getting started. Sailing it is simple, it’s buoyant and has no aluminium boom at the bottom of the sail. Before you set out the staff will give you some tuition and make sure you’re feeling comfortable and confident about captaining a Hobie Wave catamaran. Then, when you’re ready you can explore South Perth’s picturesque Swan River and get your adrenaline pumping as you sail around enjoying the sights. Look out for resident dolphins, black swans and pelicans as you enjoy a memorable sailing session.
Info
Inclusions
- One hour hire of a Hobie Wave catamaran for up to four people
- Tuition and demonstration from skilled staff
- Life jackets
Seasons
- For first time sailors, we suggest that the perfect wind speed is anywhere from eight knots to 14 knots, especially if you are taking children out with you. In the range between 15 knots and 23 knots, the catamarans become quite powerful and the risk of capsize increases. Beyond 24 knots of wind speed, we are generally thinking about suspending sailing, or restricting the area of sailing to a part of the river protected from the wind.
Operating Hours
- This experience is one hour in duration plus a short tuition and demonstration.
