had the privilege of welcoming over 65,000 passengers onto our vessels,” says Michael. “What has kept us at the top of our game for the last decade is the drive to send our customers home with big smiles on their faces. We believe the ocean is yours to enjoy and experience, but also to care and nurture. We absolutely love our job and everything we do reflects our commitment to customer satisfaction. “Our small family business has grown from strength to strength over the years and we now operate the largest, fastest, most well-equipped and comfortable day charter vessel offering tours from Broome. Life is about making memories not money, so we recommend you just get out there and do it.”
ROEBUCK BAY ECO SNUBFIN DOLPHIN CRUISE AOC’s Eco Cruises first began eight years ago, after the humpback whale season had finished and visitors were eager for another
coastal experience. “We had many customers wanting an eco-style cruise and we had the tour guides, marine biologists and crew in place to showcase our amazing coastline and unique wildlife,” says Michael. So, the Eco Cruise was founded and has been an exceptionally popular experience since. The tour begins at Gantheaume Beach or Entrance Point (depending on time of year) and heads around the coast and into Roebuck Bay. AOC’s expert guide takes guests through the history and landmarks of the area’s coastline, such as Gantheaume Point, Reddell Beach, Entrance Point and the Marine Park and RAMSAR listed biodiverse tidal flats of Roebuck Bay. Look around and a range of wildlife can be spotted while cruising this area such as turtles, sea snakes, dugong, sharks, rays, many different species of birds and of course the dolphins including the rare Snubfin dolphin. visitbroome.com.au
