Thanks to Perth Blogger Malinda from The Style Within, I was treated to an afternoon of cruising with the Boat Collective last Saturday.
With so many other talented bloggers on board, I left the majority of the photo taking in their capable hands. Surprisingly, for photos or it didn’t happen me, I switched my phone off (after I’d checked in and scored my 1/2 price drink), found myself a comfy seat in close proximity to the bar and settled in for a three hour cruise down the Swan River.
It was the perfect weather for an afternoon cruise. There were a few moments initially where the water was a bit choppy but thankfully I’m not prone to sea-sickness. Unfortunately, I have this knack for land-sickness once I’m back on dry land. So the three hours on the boat, led to three hours of the room spinning, once home. Nothing to do with the crispy apple cider… promise!
It was a fabulous afternoon with lots of laughs and blogging shenanigans which no one really seemed to bat an eyelid at, even the non bloggers in attendance. Even the before and after style shots in and around Elizabeth Quay went unnoticed with everyone going about their touristy, having fun in the sun, business. It was the perfect place for a blogger taking a blogzillion selfies, shoe-elfies and style shots to blend right in.
The Boat Collective cruises run Saturday and Sunday. Their three hour cruises are just $20 with food and drink options available at reasonable prices, especially if you check in on Facebook to take advantage of 1/2 price drinks. It’s an over 18 venue, otherwise I wouldn’t mind heading back this weekend with my little under 18 family.

WORTH CASING WEDNESDAY
If you have a blog post (or three) worth casing this week, this is the place to link up. No real rules but the more you put in to a link party the more your blog is going to gain. Don’t link and run. Leave a comment, then spend some time visiting the other fab bloggers who have linked up.
What have you been up to this week? Do you suffer from sea or back on land sickness?
Beautiful photos good to hear you enjoyed your shenanigans LOL
Have a shenanigantastic week 🙂
Thanks Steve, hope you are having a great week!
It sounds like a wonderful time and so worth it! It’s neat that no one batted an eye at the bloggers and all the selfies and such. Wishing you all the best for this year and selling your home and getting your “dream home.” How’s Pepsi doing?
Pepsi is still rather stressed and off his food. He has taken to hiding in the couch. We’ve started letting him outside again (with supervision) but I’m not sure if that is helping. He managed to get himself stuck on the neighbours roof and caused a kerfuffle late last night.
That looks like fun!!
So much fun, wouldn’t mind doing it all again this weekend.
This looks like it was so much fun. Perth looks so pretty. I have never been over your way. I didn’t even know there was water in your city! Oh god, I sound like a tourist in my own country! (I thought it was basically desert there!) 😀
LOL, I knew nothing of Perth or WA for that matter when we moved here 7 years ago.
What a pleasant way to spend the day!
It really was.
Looks like a lot of fun! I’m attending my first ever blogger event this weekend, eeeeek!! (I do get terrible sea-sickness, so I would have been in big trouble lol).

Hope the event goes well.
Im really glad to see you are getting ‘out and about’ again and enjoying company and the fun of bloggy friends. Denyse
Thanks Denyse. I have a few events coming up in the next few weeks but needing to pace myself.
How gorgeous a day and the company. I’d love to come back to Perth.
I still feel like a tourist here in Perth,even after 7 years.
Such a fun afternoon!
It really was. Thinking now, we should have headed over and cased the Fringe Festival while we were there.
Looks like you had fun. We went and saw Elizabeth Quay the other night but need to have a look at it during the day
My first time since it officially opened and I’m keen to head back. I can’t believe how busy it was.
That looks awesome and what a great price for $20. Love to meet some of the other Perth bloggers some time. Let me know when you have the next event.
Will do Julie. I think the fashion bloggers that attended have an event coming up soon. I will send you the link to their group.
What a great afternoon for cruising!
It really was. Such great weather and wonderful company.
That sounds like a delightful way to spend an afternoon! Very happy I don’t get any sort of motion sickness. Sounds like it would be a real drag.
It was a delightful way to spend the afternoon. Wouldn’t mind heading back this weekend but hubby is heading to Darwin with work and I’m guessing I will be playing taxi driver for my three girls who have more of a social life than I do these days. LOL
Looks like such fun!
So much fun Jenn. How are you this week? Will be over soon to case your post. It’s been a long day and only now finding the time to blog hop.
COLD my dear. Kids are having a snow day. Hard to believe that in a few months we’ll be melting in 40° weather! Have a great week!
Wow that looks like an amazing trip! The view is just stunning!
It certainly was Merlinda. How are you this week? Will be popping over to case your post soon. Playing a little game of catch up, following a productive day.
How fun to get to take a trip like that! Hope you’re settling in and that Pepsi is doing better. 🙂
Not sure I’m settling in but Pepsi is doing much better. Still not his old self but I think the attack before moved has changed him. We let him out on his own for the first time this week and he came back (eventually). LOL
You must be down south or down under, what a warm and beautiful day for a harbour cruise! It makes me long for summer time 🙂
I gosh, I should have had Perth mentioned somewhere in the post. I guess I’m use to my usual crowd who probably get sick of me mentioning I’m from Perth, Western Australia.
I really need to go and check out Elizabeth Quay, looks gorgeous in that Perth sunshine. Cheap cruise too!
I’ve only been the once, for this cruise. So haven’t spent too much time casing the place. It was so busy which was nice to see. I’m hoping though now that Fringe Festival is finished it won’t be so busy.
Oh I’m so jealous!!! This is definitely a blogger catchup I would have enjoyed!!
If you ever return to Perth we will have to organise another cruise. So much fun. Actually I wouldn’t mind taking the cruise thing up a notch and doing one of the larger cruise ships when they do their 3 day stint out of Fremantle.
