Visit remote destinations in one of Australia’s more spectacular regions – the Kimberley – with The Great Escape Charter Company.

Regions operating in: Kimberley Coast, Rowley Shoals. Other regions upon request include: West Coast of Australia and Northern Atolls

As one of the original charter companies in the Kimberley region, The Great Escape Charter Company explores two of the most remote, isolated and truly awesome destinations in Australia – the Kimberley Coast and the Rowley Shoals. This eco-haven will quench the thirst of the most discerning adventurer.  

There are few people who know the Kimberley’s seductive secrets like the crew of the luxurious Great Escape. Explorers of the area for the past 20 years, the Great Escape crew members are passionate about the region and the myriad of natural surprises waiting to be explored. Referred to as a ‘once in a lifetime’ escape, these cruises not only present guests with a myriad of experiences such as fishing, mud crabbing and bushwalking, but also being spoilt with five-star cuisine using fresh Kimberley flavours.  

MV Great Escape was custom-built to explore the Kimberley waters. With each cruise accommodating a privileged 14 passengers in air-conditioned comfort and personalised luxury, you can understand why so few travellers get to discover the region’s secrets. 

All cabins are well-appointed and feature private ensuites. The vessel boasts an onboard helicopter for optional scenic helicopter flights, a sprawling back deck offering alfresco dining and an invigorating foredeck spa to take the heat out of the day as you cruise this wondrous land.  

The underwater jewel of the Kimberley is the Rowley Shoals. Divers and snorkellers swim in pristine tropical waters among giant clams, huge potato cod, silver-tip sharks, shy hammerheads and sailfish. Guests step on board and leave the ordinary to experience places where only a few dare to go.
