Delightful, quiet, lazy cruise on the river. Dropped off for a nice lunch in the Optus stadium and then picked up again. Interseting commentary. Nothing really spectacular, but a lovely way to spend part of a very warm day.

My partner and I had a fabulous trip on the Little Ferry boat with a short stop to see the Optus stadium. Our skipper David was brilliant. He was very informative and we learnt a lot about how the area has changed in the last 20 years and how it is still changing. We even saw a couple of dolphins in the bay. Although the boat is for 11 people it ended up being just the two of us. Would definitely recommend.

Bob did you proud - awesome guide and very knowledgeable, even as locals we learnt some things! If you are visiting WA my advice would be to go on this delightful boat trip sooner rather than leaving it until your last few days, as the tour was full of useful information on what to do/where to go. We stopped at Claisebrook Cove for lunch, but this will depend on tides and might not be available on the day.

We took the trip up the Swan on a day when we could, not expecting too much. However, as it turned out, the trip was most interesting, J-P gave us some well researched insights into various landmarks along the way in an easy to understand manner and in a relaxed fashion. It was a fine and sunny day, the traveling quiet (due to the electric outboard motors being used) and free from unnecessary hype or exaggeration. We were able to arrive easily on time via public transport and had a most comfortable ride up to the new residential development in East Perth, where we stopped and could have stayed longer except that the boat was full on the next two return journeys. The boat took about 10-12 passengers, had comfortable seating, and cruised at pedestrian pace (which suited all on board). We returned satisfied we had a good trip and it was worth what we paid for it. Good to do, if in Perth.

This was such an intimate way to be on the river; cute little boat and so quiet. Having a small number of seats provided a very friendly and enjoyable experience. The skipper was friendly, welcoming, humorous and very knowledgeable. Highly recommended. We are locals and found it a lovely experience.

Went on the Little Ferry today for my Mum’s 89th Birthday. We got in at Elizabeth Quay and off at Claisebrook Cove and had some lunch. What a beautiful day to ride in such a quaint little wooden boat. The skipper Dave, was very informative and friendly. It’s a lovely trip for tourists AND locals! Make sure you take a ride, it’s just something a little bit special to do in Perth! Thank you to Kris for helping to organise! Amazing service!

Recommend this. This little wooden boat had electric power. Quiet, no fumes. Very pleasant slow ride up past Optus Stadium and into a cove and back. Skipper was dapper Jean Phillipe (JP). The ferry is affordable. You can bring your own food and drink on board but we had a drink at the pub where it docks. It is close to the Bell Tower (also worth seeing) and in a little cove opposite the ferry that shuttles to and from South Perth. Tickets are sold from a kiosk on the jetty.

We had a raining day, but it was the best place to be inside a nice dry boat. Lovely quiet travel along the river with a great captain , who made our tour informative and comfortable. We recommend this cruise compared to bigger cruises along the river. It feels more relaxed . Thanks

A magnificent journey with captain JP! Saw a different outlook on the city and surrounds with interesting knowledge shared to us. Took many photos and videos and it gave us insight into areas to explore outside the usual. Gorgeous, quiet, smooth ride with no boat fumes. Highly recommend!

A little trip on The Little Ferry Company for our Christmas luncheon from Elizabeth Quay to The Point in East Perth. Well what an eye opener and experience that we weren’t expecting. Not just a Ferry ride from point A to point B but an educational experience about our river, the Swan, our city, Perth and future growth to this wonderful area that will draw in tourists to be spellbound by the beauty of it all. A half hour cruise with information and brevity from our wonderful Captain, who just happened to be French, who knew more about our river than us as locals. Highly recommend, and will definitely be back again, Thank you for giving our Christmas celebration such a lift, The Quilting Girls from South of the river.
