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 :)

 

 



 

 

 

 

 

 

Protect The Place You Live

If you know even the slightest thing about us you will know how deeply passionate we are about the environment. And not just the marine environment where our boats spend the majority of their time but also the jetties around the harbour, the waterways and even the car park directly in front of our office. It is of the utmost importance to us all here at Mills Charters that we understand the role we play in every day life at protecting our beautiful surroundings and also the example we set to our customers.

Therefore we were absolutely delighted to be awarded the Clean Beaches 2013 Award at the Keep Australia Beautiful WA Awards breakfast earlier on today!

Not only did we get to meet heaps of other like minded people and hear about the amazing efforts they too have gone to when it comes to litter clean ups, we were able to take a moment and feel proud about what our staff have already done and started to get a little bit excited for what the future holds and how we can maximise our efforts even more!!

As most of you will know we are already a current member of the Adopt A Spot Campaign which sees us organise and take part in monthly pick ups around Hillarys Boat Harbour Jetty. We are thrilled to say that we are putting the wheels in motion for a community pick up with our local younger generation! What better way to send a positive message than to get children on board and supporting this great message - they are the future after all!

So with this morning's award in mind we are extremely excited moving forward to involve more of our customers in our pick ups and furthermore increase our current efforts.

There is always more we can do to help our beautiful planet and this is simply the beginning!
