How should a nervous sailor plan the Rottnest ferry crossing?

Keep the trip flexible if the crossing is the deciding factor. An enjoyable Perth or Fremantle day is a sensible backup when conditions are poor.

Compare departure routes and sailing times, and ask the operator about seating and cancellation terms. If you are prone to seasickness, seek appropriate pharmacist or medical advice in advance.

Conditions change by weather and route, so check the forecast and operator notices close to travel. A calm report from another day cannot guarantee your crossing.
