Choosing a Day Out on the Water

South Perth has two Swan River hire bases on its foreshore, one built around sails and paddles and one around jet skis. Funcats Watersports launches from Sir James Mitchell Park, and Ultimate Watersports South Perth operates from Mill Point Road.

Sail, paddle or jet ski, base by base:

Funcats Watersports hires Hobie Wave catamarans per boat, and first-timers get instruction before the clock starts
Both bases hire stand up paddle boards and kayaks
Ultimate Watersports South Perth tows riders on group tubes behind a jet ski for runs of 10, 20 or 30 minutes
Its guided jet ski tour lasts 2.5 hours, heading past Matilda Bay, Elizabeth Quay and Optus Stadium before free riding
Funcats Watersports is from $27.50 per person, and Ultimate Watersports South Perth from $50 per person

Sailing hire has operated on Coode Street since 1975
It welcomes corporate teams, school groups and accessibility groups
Book ahead when the group needs three catamarans or more
Rescue boats stay on the river while every hire is out

Jet ski and tube rules at the Mill Point Road base

No skipper's ticket is required for one-hour hire or the tour, and training comes first
Drivers need to be 16, with card and photo ID checked on arrival
Each Sea-Doo GTI takes two riders, fuel included
Tubing is priced per rider, with a two-rider minimum and a choice of gentle or lively

Common Questions Before You Paddle Out

Can a beginner sail a catamaran at Funcats Watersports?

Yes. Staff teach the basics, with a demonstration if needed, and that time is not taken from the hire.

What age can children ride a tube in South Perth?

Six and up, with Ultimate Watersports South Perth.

Do jet ski riders need a licence on the South Perth tour?

Not for the guided tour or a one-hour hire, but drivers must be 16.

Will a South Perth water sports booking go ahead in bad weather?

Ultimate Watersports South Perth says every activity depends on the weather, so confirm on the day.
