One Tide Charters
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 8 passengers and 4 crew, One Tide Charters pride themselves of making sure their clients get to see the best of the amazing coastline. One Tide Charters commenced operations in April 1997. Our vessel “Kimberley Xplorer” began sailing the Kimberley in February 2008. 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.
Your typical day involves plenty of sightseeing , fishing, crabbing, swimming and then enjoying the tranquility of “the nothingness” the Kimberley offers as you drift off to sleep.
