What our clients say

Great boat. The Lady M is beautiful, ideal for the trip, and superbly equipped and maintained. Fantastic crew, nothing was too much trouble and they were happy to share their knowledge and always interacted with the passengers with good humour and patience even on the longest days. Tender trips were fun, food was great. Excellent company. We really enjoyed the company of the other passengers, their willingness to share experiences. Simply wonderful trip, it exceeded expectations and is one of the great experiences of our lifetimes. What a wonderful Australian Treasure the Kimberley Coast is. Any time we are at Dolphin Quay we will look to see if Lady M is home and relive the good times. Thank you Bill and Maria and crew.

Mary & Richard Hinde – Mandurah, WA

Our extended family group of eleven, spanning three generations, has recently returned from the “trip of a lifetime” onboard the Lady M, travelling along the Kimberley coastline on the 7 day Kimberley Highlights Cruise. Magnificent! All credit to Bill and Maria for providing such an exceptionally well appointed vessel, a detailed itinerary that met every promise made and for the crew who graciously accommodated the needs of our party, from the youngest at 10 yrs old to the most senior of 70 something! The Lady M offered us the opportunity to spend quality family time together, experiencing one of the last un-touched frontiers in Australia, and created memories that will now last a lifetime. We would highly recommend the Lady M as the best value for money holiday to anyone considering a Kimberley cruise adventure.

The Carstens & Sprague Families – Gold Coast, Bundall & Maroochy River, Qld

Just wanted to let you know that Chris and I had a wonderful time on board the Lady M. We were made to feel so at home it was like spending time with close family. Captain Bill and the staff were so helpful and entertaining. We really enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere, the awesome places we visited and the things we saw. It was also a great bunch of people we met in the other passengers and we made some life long friends. We certainly will be recommending it to all our family and friends. We can not thank Bill and yourself enough for providing such an amazing experience, one that will be remembered with joy and happiness in all the years to come.
