There is no other boat like this in Australia. The Thundercat doesn’t just power through the water - it jumps it.

Departing from San Remo Jetty on the edge of Phillip Island, just 1.5 hours from Melbourne, your 30-minute ride takes you along the wild coastline of Cape Woolamai. You’ll reach places completely inaccessible by land: the granite quarry, the dramatic sea caves, and Bird Rock. You might also spot seals on the rocks or in the surf (not guaranteed, but a bonus when they appear). Your Captain delivers live commentary on the island’s landscape and history throughout, entertaining, genuinely local, and worth every word.

What sets this experience apart is how personal it is. Not happy at full throttle? Your Captain reads the group and adjusts. Travelling with young kids or someone a little nervous? Start slow, build up and by the end, they’ll be asking for more.

Here’s the part that surprises most people: you won’t get wet. All the speed, all the adrenaline, and you step off the boat completely dry. Tick it off in the morning and spend the rest of your day exploring the island.

The ride lasts just 30 minutes, so it fits neatly into any Phillip Island itinerary. With hourly departures from 10:00 AM, morning, midday, or afternoon - it works around you. Private bookings are also available for groups wanting exclusive use of the boat.
