At One Tide Charter cruises have been designed for travellers who still have a spark in their lives and are looking for a unique experience to adventure beyond standard cruise itinerary and explore rarely visited and untouched parts of the Kimberley’s pristine wilderness coastline.

With a maximum of 12 passengers and 3 crew, One Tide Charters pride themselves of making sure their clients get to see the best of the amaxing coastline. One Tide Charters commenced operations in April 1997. In September 1998 owner / operator Greg Prouse purchased their original charter vessel “White Lightning” to offer extended cruises to the Buccaneer Archipelago.

In February 2008 One Tide Charters took delivery of their new charter vessel “Kimberley Explorer”. Kimberley Explorer has been designed exclusively for cruising the Kimberley coastline.

With a full length keel and shallow draught, Kimberley Explorer is capable of sitting on the ground once the tide goes out,

allowing passengers to explore reefs and creek systems at low water.

With a cruising speed of up to 20 knots and long range fuel tanks, time spent exploring the coastline is maximised, ensuring passengers get the most out of their time spent cruising the Kimberley coastline.

Essential comforts are well catered for with male & female showers and toilets (with hot and cold water).

With 1000 litres of water storage and a desalinator, beach camping while cruising the Kimberley coast has just become a whole lot more appealing.

Your typical day involves plenty of sightseeing , fishing, crabbing, swimming and then enjoying the tranquility of an open campfire as you bed down for the night on an isolated beach.

The cruise has been designed to showcase the diversity of the physical presence on Australia’s northern coastline dating back thousands of years, as well as some very special places that reflect the coast’s natural beauty.
