Goodbye 2013!

Wow! Where has 2013 gone?? It seems as though one minute we were on the Swan River watching the fireworks for Australia Day only to blink and be standing on the bow of Aussie Warrior watching baby humpback whales breach and now here we are; about 4 kilos heavier and looking forward to 2014 and what it will bring!

 

Every year we say the same thing - where does the time go? It's quite scary really but at least we can take comfort in the fact that we have had another amazing year and can't wait to have an equally fantastic one with you all in 2014!

 

So what's in store for us next year? Well we have a few river cruises up our sleeve such as our yearly Australia Day shindig and ideas already in the mix for a Charity Cruise that we hope to blow last years donations out of the water (pun intended!). Then we have our highly ranked Abrolhos season from April though to July which just keeps getting better and better from the people we have on board to the variety of food our boys cook up. And then it's always a great way to round the year off with our whale watching cruises from September through to December and indulge in some humpback acrobatics! And let's not forget our deep sea fishing tours which will continue to run daily, taking care of everything from the food to the gear just leaving you to bring yourself and have a great day out.

 

Aside from our tours we will be entering the Western Australia Tourism Awards 2014 and hope to place as a finalist again and take home one of the top 3 places. We have begun works to obtain our Eco Accreditation and will continue to fly the flag for Keep Australia Beautiful and the Adopt A Spot Campaign of which we are a part of. We plan to spread a strong message about the importance of our environment and keeping it clean and hope that you will all join us!

 

After maintenance on both Aussie Warrior and Blue Strike this year we are very excited to continue to show them both off and hope that you can see for yourself the improvement in the facilities that we will be able to provide to you.

 

 Overall we intend to improve on the level of service we provide to you as our customer and hope to see much more of you as we grow Mills Charters and our family. We would not continue to be here today nor look back with a smile over 2013 were it not for your ongoing loyalty and support so from the very bottom of our hearts, thank you and have a very wonderful and safe New Years!

 

Here's to 2014 :)

 

 



 

 

 

 

 

 

Australia Day 2013

It's been a little while since our last post as we have been super busy here at Mills and Australia Day was no exception!

We started our day with two whole boat charters which headed over to Rotto for the day. Gemma had Aussie Warrior and Frazer and his crew took Blue Strike - both customers are regulars of ours and it's always great to have them aboard! Both cruises spent the day at the beautiful Porpoise Bay and needless to say I imagine there were a few sore heads come Sunday!

At 2.30pm the boats made their way back to Hillary's but their work here wasn't done...

A quick clean up later and they were back out on the water, this time headed for the Swan River to watch the fireworks.

Blue Strike took Dulio and his party out whilst Aussie Warrior boasted members of the public and friends and colleagues of Mills. We were treated to a variety of finger food, sausage sizzles, BBQ prawns and a selection of sweets, cakes and fruit. What a way to celebrate Australia Day!

We want to thank everyone involved in making this day a HUGE success - our friends, family and above all our customers and crew.

We hope you all had a very safe and happy Australia Day and hope to celebrate with you all again in 2014!
