Why Rent With Us?
Everything we do at Funcats Watersports is geared towards providing our customers with a unique experience they will truly remember. The following are just a few of the reasons why we are one of Perth's must do activities. Read below to see what makes us different from the rest.
Free Lesson
NO EXPERIENCE REQUIRED
We firmly believe this is one of our strongest qualities. Even if you have never sailed or paddled before, Funcat's friendly and experienced staff will have you out on the water in no time. After some basic tuition and if needed a demonstration, you will be out sailing on the beautiful swan river before you know it.
This is inclusive in the cost of the hire and doesn't cut into your hire time!

FAQs
Do I need to book?
For anything less than 3 catamarans there is no need for you to book. Even if all of our catamarans are being hired we have on average around 10 catamarans returning to the beach every 15 minutes. With our stand-up paddle board and kayaks, we recommend booking online, but we are also happy to take phone bookings on the day you want to hire. We don’t accept phone/email bookings in advance.
Which payment methods do you accept?
We accept all major credit and debit cards, and cash.
