5.7M ALUMINIUM BOW RIDER

These boats operate under a 4C survey and can take a maximum of 6 passengers each.  They are restricted to 5 nautical miles from the mainland coast.

If you are unsure please contact our friendly staff to find out more.

Yes, our 5.7m Aluminium Bow Riders require a skippers ticket/boat licence which will need to be sighted by staff prior to handover of the boat. We also need to see a form of ID (drivers licence, passport or proof of age card) before the hire can commence.

You can pick the boat up from our Falcon (Mandurah) location as part of our tow-away service (no additional cost).

Alternatively, if you would prefer us to get the boat in and out of the water for you, please select our launch and retrieve option at checkout. This can be done from most public boat ramps for an additional cost, and includes us cleaning the boat and arranging refuelling (fuel at your cost).

If you don’t see the boat ramp you wish to launch from as an option, please contact our friendly staff for more assistance.

Please note: for Fremantle hires we only offer a launch and retrieve service, due to the travel required by our staff. This is included in the price of hire. Launch and retrieve will be done at the Leeuwin Boat Ramp unless otherwise discussed.

At Boating West, your safety is our number one priority. If the weather is deemed to be too windy and unsafe, we will cancel your hire and offer to reschedule (where possible) or refund you.

Rain alone does not make boating unsafe, so we do not cancel hires due to rain. As with any outdoor activity, we recommend checking the forecast before your hire and bringing appropriate wet weather clothing if showers are expected.

You absolutely can! We provide a small esky that can be used for food and drinks or fishing, and you’re welcome to bring your own as well.

Please note, the skipper must be free of alcohol and prohibited drugs when operating the boat. Staff have the authority to refuse hire where a person appears to be under the influence of drugs or alcohol at the time of vessel handover. If a major incident occurs you will be asked to undertake a drug and alcohol test upon arrival back at the jetty.

Dogs will be considered on a case-by-case basis for these boats. Please contact our friendly team to discuss prior to hiring to ensure no disappointments on the day of hire.

Yes, we take a $500 security bond on the day of hire. This will be pre-authorised against your card and will be returned within 48hrs of the end of your hire, provided the boat has been returned with no damage.
