Bermagui

Bermagui is marine biodiversity hotspot thanks to the close proximity of the continental shelf which is located only 20-kilometres away from port.

The town is well-known as a deep-sea fishing mecca and its abundant waters attract a plethora of marine life and of course whales. Nearby Barunguba (Montague Island) is home to large colonies of little penguins and Australian fur seals that frequent the surrounding region.

Our Bermagui trips depart the calm waters of scenic Bermagui Harbour and it’s only a short 5-minute cruise until we enter the stunning waters of the Pacific. We may travel north towards the spectacular Murunna Point headland and Wallaga Lake, or head south past the colourful cliffs towards Baragoot Beach. The ever-present views towards Guluga mountain in the north make for a spectacular backdrop.

Bubbles is a modern, fast, powered catamaran. She was built by Gold Coast Ships in 2013 for use as a whale watching and snorkelling vessel in the Great Barrier Reef. We purchased her in early 2020 to add to our whale watching business. She is roomy, comfortable and has plenty of outdoor viewing areas.

With her four separate outdoor decks she has lots of great vantage points to photograph whales from. She has a large downstairs cabin with comfortable seating and galley. Her comfortable lower indoor cabin is also great if the weather is cold or wet. Her upper deck has complete walk-around access, with seating on both the forward and aft decks. There is plenty of space to relax and view whales and dolphins from.

​

She has two toilets with hand basins and an onboard galley with tea and coffee facilities.

From May to August we take Bubbles to Sydney and trade under Go Whale Watching, before bringing her back to the Sapphire Coast for the rest of the year.
