Our Vessel

Designed specifically for whales by whale watchers

Our vessel is an integral part of your whale watch journey and we are excited to welcome you onboard Australia’s only dedicated, year round whale watch vessel MV Steep Point.

Designed For Whale Watching

Our vessel is dedicated to whale watching all year and has been specifically designed to operate in harmony with Australian cetaceans.

Whale watching should be just that, watching and our moto is to observe and not influence behaviour. Sound is the main communication skill below water and MV Steep Point has been designed to minimise sound pollution in the environments we work in. Our family team have spent many years and thousands of hours building a skill set and interaction procedures that are implemented onboard every tour.

The art of whale watching takes time and patience, our family business has dedicated our time to creating a whale watch experience that allows you to Join The Pod® and be welcomed by the whales into their wild environment.
