Operated by Mandurah Boat Hire · Mandurah, Western Australia
Mandurah, Western Australia, is a vibrant coastal town known for its waterways, estuaries, and access to the Indian Ocean. Situated at 20A Ormsby Terrace, Mandurah Boat Hire puts you right at the gateway to these stunning marine environments. Their key offering, the 5 Person Bowrider, invites adventurers to take control of their own boating experience—and no skipper’s ticket is needed for daytime hires. This makes it an ideal choice for small groups or families eager to chart their own course and soak in the fresh ocean air.
The bowrider itself is a sleek, maneuverable craft designed for day trips and casual outings. Seating up to five passengers, it delivers a hands-on experience of Mandurah’s waterways—from calm sheltered inlets to the expansive open water just offshore. You’ll find panoramic views of the Peel-Harvey Estuary, lined with salt marshes and framed by dunes dotted with native flora like paperbark and banksias. Birdwatchers can spot local species such as black swans and sea eagles circling overhead.

Arrive early to take care of quick paperwork, then push off to discover secluded beaches, hidden coves, or simply enjoy cruising under the wide Western Australian sky. The company’s location provides easy access to the Mandurah Channel and the nearby Peel Inlet, which is known for its rich marine biodiversity and peaceful cove anchorages.
Mandurah’s waterfront dining, waterfront parks, and local markets make it a fantastic base for combining water adventure with leisure onshore.
