Nauti Picnics
Take the wheel and discover Perth’s best-kept secret: a self-drive luxury picnic boat on the beautiful Swan River.
Nauti Picnics offers a completely unique way to experience Perth – on the water, at your own pace, with your favourite people. Our whisper-quiet, 100% electric boat is stylish, shaded, and perfect for slow cruising, grazing, and soaking up the city from a whole new angle.
Located at Ascot Waters Marina, just minutes from the CBD, Nauti Picnics puts you in the captain’s seat – no skipper and no boat license required. We’ll show you how everything works before you set off, so you can relax and enjoy your journey in comfort and confidence.
Each boat fits up to 7 people and includes a picnic table and shaded canopy plus lots of little goodies – ideal for romantic date days, laid-back family catch-ups, birthday celebrations, hens parties, or just a fun day on the river with friends.
You can choose between 2, 3, or 4 hour hires, with flexible routes that let you explore Perth’s waterways your way. From the city skyline and Matagarup Bridge to hidden pockets of nature and scenic riverfront homes – there’s plenty to see.
Want something even more special? Our 6-hour Swan Valley cruise is a customer favourite, giving you time to head upstream to the wineries, and enjoy a long, lazy day with delicious food, good company, and glassy views. Perfect for those who want to explore further and take their time.
