This tour is chilled and relaxed. You will experience all the beauty of the pure and pristine coast line, but with more time to spot the seals at “The Brothers” islands and slow to enjoy the dolphins if they appear along the way. Surrounded by the Coffin Bay national park on one side and farming land on the other. The new boat is launched with intimate tables for mingling with family, friends or guests. Very large windows that can open on lovely days allow for you to turn and catch all the action as we motor the approximately 16km out to our oyster lease at the entrance to the Coffin Bay water way. You will up close see the vastness of the prime oyster growing area of the world famous Coffin Bay oysters. We will certainly visit our oyster farm and explain about farming our oysters and take the time to pluck fresh ones to open and enjoy. Can’t get any fresher than that. If you would like to immerse yourself in the experience then the option to walk around in the water on the farm is available. In your bathers or waders if you prefer. BYO towel. We have some waders available to share. 1 dozen oysters per person. Your tour guide will be the oyster farmer who will happily share knowledge about oyster farming, its history and local knowledge of the area and explore the Coffin Bay water ways.
Experience
