Our wonderful boat, The Magellan, will ensure you have the best possible day on the water. Having been designed by our owner/operator, every last detail has been finely decided to cater for all of your Whale Sharking needs! We often have guests enquire about the risk of getting sea sick and we are proud to say that we have the biggest vessels here in Exmouth. If you were worried about getting sick, then this is the boat you want to be on. The Magellan makes for a steady and safe ocean vessel. There are plenty of great vantage points to enjoy the reef from on our large bow and our Skippers encourage you to pay them a visit up on the fly bridge? to truly take in the view. Having a large ocean level marlin board and ladder ensures ease of access in and out of the water for guests of all ages while a large shaded deck provides shelter and shade for that much needed rest in-between all that swimming! The Magellan also has a full environmentally bath room on board.
No Sighting Policy – In the unlikely event that we don’t spot a Whale Shark on our tour, Kings will book you on the next available tour. We understand that this is not always possible for our guests in which case we will gladly issue a Gift Voucher which is valued for one Whale Shark Year.
