The Venue

It makes perfect sense to hold a premier boating festival in Western Australia’s internationally recognised harbour city. Featuring up to 100 large vessels presented on the water in a working harbour setting, Fishing Boat Harbour, the home of the 1987 Americas Cup defence, is a focal point for the festival.

The land content is presented on Esplanade Reserve Park in the heart of Fremantle. Located adjacent to Fishing Boat Harbour and a short stroll from the famous Cappuccino Strip, the park area provides a relaxed festive atmosphere where enthusiasts and the general public can enjoy all things nautical. With over 39,000 square metres of ground and water surface and capable of accommodating boats of any size, the Esplanade Hotel Fremantle Boating Festival is fast becoming the people’s favourite boating event.
