Blue Destiny Boat Charters

Western Australia - South, Australia

The team at Blue Destiny Boat Charters specialises in taking divers out to Rottnest Island, and they do it well. If you’re in Perth and looking for a solid day trip, this is a top pick. We love that they focus on day charters, making it easy to get out to some of our favourite sites around “Rotto” without the hassle of ferry schedules or packing an overnight bag. Stepping onto their 68ft catamaran, you immediately feel like you’re in good hands. It’s spacious, with plenty of room to gear up without bumping elbows and comfortable spots to relax between dives. We’ve had some fantastic trips with them, enjoying the cool breeze on the top deck as we motor out, and then plunging into the surprisingly vibrant waters around the island. Think schooling bannerfish and cheerful western blue devils darting amongst the kelp. While you’ll find plenty of recreational sites, the PADI Dive Boat course they offer is a smart add-on for anyone new to boat diving – it really helps you get the most out of your day. They know the best spots to drop anchor, away from the crowds, giving you a better chance to see the resident sea lions or even a sleepy wobbegong. Our top tip: grab a spot on the bow for the ride out, the views are fantastic.
