Passionate about the Ocean, Sharing Unforgettable Experiences Since 2004

About us, Brandon and Peter founded Pelican Charters in 2004, driven by a shared love for the ocean and a desire to explore its wonders. Over the years, we’ve learned countless lessons from the sea and grown a deep appreciation for the power and beauty of nature.

Striving to be the “best” with the “best” boats, we focus on crafting authentic experiences that let you truly connect with the water. Whether it’s fishing, diving, surfing, or simply cruising, we take you on unforgettable journeys along the stunning coral coast of Western Australia.

We don’t boast about being the biggest or having the fanciest boats. Instead, we let our passion for the ocean and our commitment to personalized experiences speak for themselves. Join us and discover the magic of the West Australian coast!

We live by the philosophy that the Indian Ocean is limited for most to explore. So we are here to help you explore and experience new things. Get out and see what’s going on in your own city.

Get away for the weekends to Rottnest Island or spend the day on or cruise on the Swan River. Even our live aboard holiday trips can turn up completely new experiences.

We are even more proud of our accomplishments – About Us

Original Pelican

The Pelican started as a 48ft vessel. She was a little bit stubby.

Back in 2007, with our hands on experience, Brandon once a Boilermaker and Peter once a Builder, strategically cut her in half and added 14ft as a center compartment for extra room, buoyancy and deck space.

Now Pelican is a sparkling 62ft charter vessel. All approved to the latest AMSA standards.

Just to take our accommodation to the next level, we purchased “Livewire” a 24m vessel.

She served some time at Barrow Island for Chevron and was a little tired. After five months we wondered what have we done.

Seven months later, we had done it. Now a sparkling 62ft charter vessel. All approved to the latest AMSA standards.
