From Hillarys, you’ll head into open water aboard a custom 7.8m twin‑hulled catamaran to fish for West Australian crayfish — a hands‑on outing that outfits guests with professional gear, 12 pots to pull, and the chance to take home a fresh feed for lunch on return.

Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE CATCH

Pull Your Own West Australian Crayfish

You’ll work the pots yourself and can take home a fresh catch for lunch — all gear is provided and everyone aboard is able to take a full quota of eight crayfish each.

THE BOAT

A Custom, Accessible Charter

The experience runs from a purpose‑built Sabrecraft 7.8m twin‑hull catamaran equipped with a Haulmaster craypot lifter and powerful twin 300hp outboards — designed to make the ocean available to everyone.

THE RITUAL

From Pots to Plate

Pull pots, prep your catch and — if you choose — cook it aboard or ashore; fresh cray straight from the ocean is the trip’s defining payoff.

What the day feels like

A Hands‑On Half Day at Sea

Over roughly four hours you depart Hillarys, transit to cray grounds and work a set of 12 pots — hauling, preparing and optionally cooking your catch — before returning to shore with provisions for a fresh lunch.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who should book — and when to think twice.

1
Accessible TravelersThe custom twin‑hulled vessel is designed to be accessible, making this a strong choice for travelers who need accessible boarding and accommodation on deck.
2
Seafood Lovers & Home CooksIdeal for guests who want the hands‑on experience of catching and taking home crayfish for a fresh meal.
3
Families (All Ages)The operator markets the tour as suitable for all ages, but guardians should assess younger children’s ability to cope with boat movements and active work on deck.
4
Those Prone to SeasicknessNot the best choice if you are highly susceptible to motion sickness — the operator notes the ocean can be unpredictable and customers must ensure they are fit to board.
