Boutique Cruises is a Fremantle-based operator offering private charters and PADI scuba courses departing from Fremantle, Western Australia. The company runs a range of experiences including Bali and Nusa Penida 4-night diving trips, PADI courses (Premium Open Water, Standard Open Water, Advanced Open Water, Rescue Diver, Divemaster, Deep Dive Specialty), Rottnest Island dive trips, refresher courses, and monthly Women Dive Morning events.
Private charters operate on two vessels—Linni and Moonshine 2—and visit destinations such as Carnac Island, Garden Islands, Rottnest Island and the Swan River. Charters include snorkeling, sea lion viewing, crew-prepared BBQs and customizable itineraries to suit groups. Rottnest Island dive trips feature personalized dive sites, limestone reefs with caves and swim-throughs, a hot shower and lunch onboard.
Bali and Nusa Penida trips focus on diving and snorkeling at sites such as Manta Point, targeting sightings of mantas and Mola Mola, and include luxurious accommodations and experienced guidance. PADI courses emphasize small group sizes, personalized instruction, pool sessions, and both shore and boat dives; the Premium and Standard Open Water courses include dives at Rottnest Island. The Women Dive Morning runs on the first Saturday of each month from October to June and includes breakfast and limited gear availability.
All training follows PADI standards and aims to build diver confidence for independent diving. With a focus on safety, varied course options, private charter flexibility, and convenient departures from Fremantle, Boutique Cruises provides accessible diving and island experiences for both new and experienced divers.
