RedSky Design-a-Cruise

Would you like to explore the Kimberley coastline with an itinerary specifically tailored just to suit you? Maybe a birthday celebration or a honeymoon. Perhaps, we need to design a cruise to suit your budget or you just want to ‘get away’.

Red Sky Cruises are extremely flexible and willing to help you formulate the best ever cruise.

Join us aboard ‘Red Sky at Night’, a motor-sailing catamaran, ideally suited for luxury live-aboard in this remote region of Western Australia.

Honeymoon: Make ‘Red Sky’ your own. We will design an exclusive cruise – just for the newlyweds – to give you time to enjoy each others company combined with fine dining, adventurous activities and spectacular surroundings

Birthday: Who needs a reason for a party? Birthdays can be a good excuse to book one of our scheduled cruises as a present. We can also cater for larger parties by working in partnership with a new houseboat to be introduced to the Kimberley. While 2 couples are accommodated on Red Sky, the others can sleep aboard the houseboat, joining us aboard for day excursions.

Getaway: Need a short escape to rid yourself of all those stresses! There are times during the season where we are not fully booked and are happy to modify our departure dates and duration of cruises to suit a quick ‘getaway’. We will recommend the best tides and itinerary to take advantage of a shorter time available. We will once again offer our special 3 night ‘gourmet cruises’ during October for those with limited time.

Budgeted: Tell us how much you have budgeted for a holiday cruising the Kimberley coast and we will design an itinerary to make the most of your holiday dollar – you may even find a few extras thrown in.

Contact us and you will be surprised at what we can do for you.
