About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- louisefH3929PG0 contributionsIncredible experience!I was incredibly fortunate to join All Sea Charters as part of the data collection project for MIMnetwork on whale migration. This amazing opportunity truly exceeded all my expectations. The team at All Sea Charters is exceptional—extremely professional, knowledgeable about all kinds of ocean life and highly skilled at spotting whales from incredible distances, ensuring that every passenger has a fantastic experience. During the two and a half weeks I spent on board, we saw whales every single day, which was absolutely breathtaking! What stood out the most was the team's attentiveness and friendliness. They go above and beyond to make sure that all passengers feel comfortable and have the best possible experience and even in the way that the boat was maneuvered to reduce the chances of seasickness. All Sea Charters is also deeply considerate of the whales. The team knows exactly how to approach them and when to give space, ensuring that the whales are never negatively impacted by our presence and without disturbing their natural behaviour. Thank you, All Sea Charters, for an outstanding whale watching adventure!Written February 11, 2025
- Y3646AJheidit0 contributionsWhale Watching from my wheelchair!What a wonderful whale watching cruise! I’m in a wheelchair so was a bit concerned about how it would go. But Deanna was fabulous in communicating with me beforehand and helping sort out the best cruise for me and my husband to take. And the crew on board were fantastic too, making sure I knew when a whale had been spotted and which side of the boat it was best to be on. Even turning the boat to give me a chance to be fully involved in the whale spotting! Thank you all!Written November 4, 2024
- cherylbet0 contributionsTHERE BE WHALESWhat an amazing afternoon with Jess, Alex, whales, dolphins and sealions!! THANKS SO MUCH FOR A GREAT EXPERIENCE. We all loved it.Written October 27, 2024
- soo210 contributionsGreat experienceWe had an incredible couple of hours whale watching. At first, the whales were far away, but we eventually got quite close to these amazing, graceful mammals. We loved hearing the sonar and listening to the whales communicate with each other. The crew were knowledgeable, though sometimes it was difficult to hear them over the noise of the engine.Written October 22, 2024
- grantb7640 contributionsPerfect day of whale watchingA fantastic mornings whale watching. A large and very stable catamaran vessel that was the perfect viewing platform, despite some quite rough weather at times. Crew were very friendly and engaged with their clientele. We saw literally dozens of humpback whales, from large adults through to new seasons calves. The young ones in particular put on a real show for use, broaching, tail slapping and spy hopping. I was very pleased to see the crew keeping the boat close enough for passengers to get a good view of the whales but at no time were the whales harassed in any way. An exceptional day.Written October 22, 2024
- katienkah0 contributionsWhale of a timeWe had a Whale of a time. It was a perfect day with whales coming close for wonderful memories and photos. The staf had good knowledge and was very friendly and helpful. We had an amazing day. Thank youWritten September 19, 2024
- Elina R0 contributionsBook your whale watching with All Sea charters! They will do their best to spot the whales!An experienced captain and a great crew with a marine scientist on board to answer all your questions! We started sailing and soon after 3 whales kept us company for almost an hour! We then headed up north and spotted a few more! We felt safe all along, and that's very important! I highly recommend All Sea charters.Written September 11, 2024
- 777janei0 contributionsAmazing bucket list experienceA fantastic experience , so many humpbacks ! Though our captain and crew said it was a quite exceptional day , so close the beautiful whales just stayed with us as we stopped out in the bay and they chose just to keep coming and having a look at us . Great crew very knowledgable with own marine biologist aboard. Highly recommend though we were lucky to see humpbacks doing everything in the book from mugging to breaching , a trip of a lifetimeWritten September 9, 2024

The sea lions were out on the beach and a few swam around and in between the swimmers . The bbq on the boat was great. Grace is an excellent cook and the snags were fantastic. Skipper & buggsy looked after everyone with good humour. Thank you all for a great time.Written March 29, 2024

- nualajono0 contributionsI wanted to love itI had booked the 4 hour adventure tour to Carnac Island as a birthday gift for my husband for 24th February. This was the same day of the Rottnest Channel Swim. We arrived 10mins before our 8am tour to a full boat with other passengers including staff Aidan, Lockie (and I can't remember the name of the other staff member). To be honest we were surprised the tour wasn't cancelled because the weather on this day was terrible from the start. It was cold, windy and rainy at parts. We would have appreciated being given the option (either prior to the day or on arrival) to book an alternative date, but we werent given any other option but to show up and continue the tour. We set off for Carnac Island as planned and as you can imagine, the boat ride was extremely cold and windy (our mistake for not bringing a jumper), and as it was such a full boat there was nowhere to sit so we had to balance as best we could while standing. At one stage my husband and I were standing near the front of the boat as there was a table we could lean against for balance. We were told (a bit impatiently) by Aidan to move to the back to sit down (because we were blocking the entry to the front room and had to keep moving out of the way). This was understandable, however with such a full boat of people all the seats were taken and there was nowhere to sit or lean on for support. So we moved to the back and balanced as best we could while standing. On arrival at Carnac Island the waters were extremely choppy and murky. We reluctantly jumped in for a snorkel but the group only went into the water once (my husband and I were in the water for a total of around 20mins) because it was just too murky and choppy to see anything. It was really disappointing and not the enjoyable experience we had been hoping for. The tour ended up coming back to Fremantle a bit earlier than scheduled (likely due to the dangerous water conditions). All in all, it was not the enjoyable experience we had hoped and paid for. We had heard such great feedback from friends who had been to the island previously, I have no doubt it would have been amazing in better weather conditions so we were really disappointed that this tour went ahead and we weren't given the opportunity to reschedule for an alternative day.Written February 25, 2024

To start with we booked 2 hours and the tour went an extra 30 minutes to make sure we saw the best of the whales. We were a little late in the migration season that meant the crew had to be diligent about spotting the whales, which they were. We saw two species - Hump Back and Southern Right. Both species were a mother and calf, which was great. The staff were very knowledgeable and very helpful. The vessel had indoor space to use when moving and enough space outside to be able to see the whales. I would definitely recommend.

Thankyou for taking the time to provide feedback - and we are pleased you hear your recommendation.
But also our staff delivered the experience to customer we aim to, and more importantly you have beautiful memories of not only Humpback Whales but the endangered Southern Right Whale - and both with calves - pretty memorable.
We hope to see you onboard again in the future.

My wife and I took the All Sea Charter boat from Augusta as a treat for my wife's birthday. It was a wonderful trip and we saw many Southern Right Whales with their calves. To be able to get so close to them was amazing and our skipper steered the boat so carefully and considerately near the whales. We also saw a Humpback Whale which was a treat. The two hour trip was filled with information from the crew and we felt very safe and welcomed on board, thank you All Sea Charters for a great day.

Amazing experience. The crew was very experienced and was quick to spot the whales and approach them safely. We saw over 15 humpback whales, some of which came right next to / under the boat. The crew also gave us information about the whales throughout the tour. The 2 hour duration was more than sufficient to see those magnificent creatures up close. We were originally booked for a Sunday, but the crew informed us 3 days before that the weather on Sunday was not great, and recommended we change our booking to the Friday or Saturday instead. They quickly amended our booking after we replied them via email. 100% would do it again.

This was the best Whale Watching Tour I’ve been on. Paul and his crew were amazing and very knowledgeable about the whales. They even had a marine biologist on board answering questions. The whales breached over and over, and we got to see humpback, southern right whales, and even dolphins! Amazing! Thanks again Paul and crew! - Butch

We went Whale watching yesterday and had an amazing time. We not only saw Humpback whales that showed off and breached for us numerous times , we also joined the 1% club and saw not one but two Pigmy Blue Whales. The crew were amazing and gave us loads of information about the whales and how to spot them. I would describe this tour as fun , friendly , professional and informative. A must do if you’re down in this region. Plus it is a small family run Aussie business - get behind it and enjoy a great tour. Our tour left from Dunsborough

The sea was calm the sun was ahining and we were not overrun with passengers. In less than an hour we had muliple sightings of whales.
Captain Paul and Taylor gave awesome commentary and ensured we did not miss out on every opportunity to catch a glimpse of such a magnificent gentle creature as well as respecting their need for distance from us.
I cant wait to bring my family next time.

A fantastic experience! Only 20 people on the boat meant we could freely move around to get to the best spots on the boat, it very very intimate and private. We saw Southern Right and Humpback Whales, it was truly amazing. 100% recommend if you’re visiting Augusta.

Yes despite the capacity to accommodate more we like to limit our numbers so our passengers as you experienced all have the opportunity over our vessel to obtain the best spot to see the beautiful whales.
We so hope to see you again onboard in the future.

We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves on this whale-watching tour and were able to see between 5-10 whales in total throughout the ride. The guides were very informative and gave clear instructions on how to spot different types of whales (we saw both the humpback and the southern right). It was an incredible trip and I highly recommend All Sea Charters if you're looking to watch whales in Augusta.

Just a lovely way to spend a morning. It didn't matter that it was a bit chilly because we were well entertained by these goliaths of the sea. They didn't breach much but that didn't matter because they were never far away. So lovely to enjoy and animal just meandering through its natural environment.
