Catalpa Charters has launched in Rockingham, bringing a fresh suite of marine experiences shaped by generations of local maritime heritage.
Located just 40 minutes south of Perth, the family-owned operator draws on decades spent navigating Rockingham's coastline - from traditional fishing practices to historic rescue missions - to deliver authentic, sustainable ocean-based tours. Rooted in a deep connection to the region's coastline and marine ecosystems, Catalpa Charters aims to connect visitors with the natural beauty of the Indian Ocean while championing environmental responsibility.
Western Rock Lobster Catch & Keep Tour
This three-hour hands-on experience lets guests step into the role of a fisherman, learning how to identify and responsibly catch Western Rock Lobster. Participants can take home up to eight lobsters, while gaining insight into sustainable fishing practices shaped by Rockingham’s long-standing fishing industry.
Sunset Cruises
Aboard Venture III, guests enjoy a three-hour sunset cruise across Cockburn Sound, taking in panoramic views of the Rockingham coastline and Garden Island as the sky transforms with evening colours. Ideal for leisure travellers and small groups seeking a relaxed coastal experience.
Private Charters
Catalpa Charters also offers flexible three-hour private charters tailored for social events, corporate outings or family celebrations along Rockingham's scenic waterways.
