What our passengers have to say!
Lynda Jeffrey reviewed Pelican Abrolhos Islands— 5 star
I had organised a 4 day Abrolhos Island charter for 10 people in April. Unfortunately our boat blew an engine and the skipper put us onto Pelican Charters yo book from 11 to 14 May. This turned out to be a most wonderful time. We were accommodated on Pelican’s new ship, Live Wire.
It was 4 days of luxury including air conditioned cabins and full bunks. Hot showers and a full galley which was put to good use. Hot coffee from the coffee machine to get us going in the morning. The meals were first class and full marks to Pete, Brandon and deckie, Luke who not only put us onto plenty of fish of all varieties, but looked after all of our needs.
Being a twin jet boat, they could navigate into shallow water that other skippers can only dream of. This enabled us to snorkel off the boat for crays and some jumbos were caught and went towards a fantastic reef and beef dinner. This charter has spoiled me and I couldn’t go past Pelican for any other trips like this.

The crew are fantastic! Great food, great banter, and we even bagged out on fish and crays. To anyone thinking about doing a trip, it’s worth every dollar, and this is definitely the boat you want to be on!
