ECLIPSE

Eclipse embodies the very essence of Kimberley cruising and is the perfect vessel for small intimate groups. She can accommodate 8 guests on all voyages. 

Eclipse is a beautifully appointed 50-foot sailing catamaran offering an immersive and personal way to explore one of Australia’s most remote and spectacular regions — the Kimberley coast. Designed for travellers who value authenticity, nature and comfort in equal measure, Eclipse delivers a true small-group cruising experience far removed from the crowds.

With space for only a handful of guests, Eclipse provides unmatched access to secluded waterways, dramatic gorges and untouched anchorages that larger vessels simply cannot reach. Her twin-hull design ensures excellent stability and smooth sailing, making her ideal for navigating tidal rivers, island-strewn coastlines and protected bays throughout the Kimberley.

Kimberley Cruises - Sail the Kimberley Coast

Kimberley cruises aboard Eclipse focus on exploration and connection — with the landscape, the wildlife and the ancient culture of this remarkable region. Days are spent cruising past towering red cliffs, spotting saltwater crocodiles and seabirds, swimming beneath remote waterfalls, and stepping ashore to discover hidden beaches and river systems. Zodiac-style tender access allows guests to venture deep into narrow creeks and mangrove-lined inlets.

Life onboard Eclipse is relaxed and welcoming. Guests enjoy comfortable cabins, open deck spaces for sightseeing and sunset drinks, and freshly prepared meals enjoyed against ever-changing Kimberley backdrops. With a knowledgeable skipper and crew, each voyage is shaped by tides, weather and guest interests — ensuring no two cruises are ever the same.

Eclipse Kimberley cruises are ideal for adventurous couples, small groups and nature lovers seeking a genuine sailing experience combined with the raw beauty of the Kimberley. If you’re looking to explore this extraordinary coastline in an intimate, flexible and unforgettable way, Eclipse offers one of the most rewarding journeys available.
