About
Funcats is one of Perth’s iconic must do activities and one of the few places in the world where you can sail directly in front of a major city. With no experience necessary, there is no better way to enjoy our picturesque city than a relaxing sail on the beautiful Swan River. The fleet includes 40 catamarans, stand up paddleboards and kayaks. Catch the ferry across to South Perth and walk along the foreshore for eight minutes. No bookings required and a free lesson is included for those who haven’t sailed or paddled before. Please be aware that Funcats closes for the winter months

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Fantastic experience kayaking SUP & catamaran
Apr. 2023 • Family
The online booking process was very simple, we booked kayaks for 1 hr experience on the swan river , our group had a couple of teens and a 7 year old, the staff were v friendly and gave us good guidance and fitted us out with life jackets …the kayaking was fantastic , we saw black swans gliding gracefully in the river, cormorants and jellyfish , what a fantastic day out in the swan river …after coming back onshore our teens wanted to try SUP, again full marks to the staff they guided us nicely , and our boys were able to SUP quite far out into tte river & back…we then also did the catamaran sailing experience..wow …what a day , perth , the swan river at its fabulous best and thanks to funcat for making this experience possible , we had family visiting from overseas and this experience has created such wonderful memories for us with them together …

We hired a Funcat (easy online booking) and the staff were absolutely brilliant! The whole experience was fantastic, including when we got "stuck" & a guy raced out in his boat to assist us! I can't recommend these guys highly enough.

SUPing with Funcats
Oct. 2022
What a great morning out on the Swan River. Funcats are just a professional team. So nice to the have quick tips on how to use the SUP boards, and off we went. Definitely would return to try again. Highly recommend on your next morning out in South Perth.

Fantastic!!!
Jan. 2022 • Family
We had a fantastic experience with Fun Cats! We arrived a bit worried on a very windy day having booked stand up paddle boarding, luckily the staff suggested we do double kayaking instead. It was great fun and all of the staff were great, especially the woman running things!

Friendly service, super fun

We rode a catamaran on a lovely summer day and it was fantastic. We grew up riding these catamarans and now our kids love them too. The council of South Perth need to protect this business as it adds a lot of value to the Perth experience.
