The salt air tightens as the Moonraker slips from the jetty and Port Phillip’s low horizon opens into wind-ribbed water.

Participants should be comfortable in open water for short swims and able to climb a boat ladder; basic swimming fitness is sufficient.
Yes — children are welcome but must be accompanied by an adult; infant seats are available on board and crew will advise on safe participation for younger swimmers.
No advanced skills are required, but you should be comfortable floating and breathing through a snorkel; wetsuits provide buoyancy for less confident swimmers.
No — dolphins, seals and seadragons are wild and sightings depend on season, tide and conditions; the crew will optimize locations but cannot promise specific encounters.
The operator cancels tours in unsafe or poor conditions; for a full refund cancel at least 24 hours before departure, and the provider may cancel with a refund if weather makes the trip unsafe.
The waters are part of Boonwurrung country; European bathing and fishing traditions developed here in the 19th century and coastal towns still center on maritime life.
Operators emphasize observation-first practices and use reef-safe products to reduce impact; staying on the boat unless directed by crew minimizes disturbance to marine life.
