Boating at Rottnest Island

Western Australia has the highest per capita boat ownership in Australia, and Rottnest Island is a favourite destination for 'boaties'. Regulations and guidelines are in place to preserve Rottnest's unique environment and to ensure the safety of those enjoying the Island and its waters.

Anyone entering the Rottnest Island Reserve, including the marine reserve, is required to pay an admission fee as a contribution to the conservation of the Island and the provision and upkeep of facilities.
