Your Mission.
At Shoreline Charters, we provide dependable vessel access and local crew support for a wide range of marine industry projects. Whether you're conducting environmental research, filming a wildlife documentary, deploying underwater equipment, or surveying offshore sites, we offer a stable, quiet 11-metre vessel (Lila Ray) and the local knowledge to get you where you need to go—safely, efficiently, and on time.

Our Experience.
With over 40 years of experience on Portland’s waters, our crew knows the coastline, conditions, and logistics required to support field operations of all kinds. From crew transfers and dive support to bird monitoring, hot shot deliveries, and remote infrastructure inspections, our role is simple: you bring the project, and we provide the vessel, navigation, and on-water expertise to make it happen.

We’ve worked with researchers, government agencies, film teams, ecologists, and commercial contractors. Our flexibility, discretion, and commitment to safety make us the go-to marine support partner for projects needing reliable access to Portland’s dynamic offshore environment. Whatever your mission—we’re the boat.
“We have studied the marine environment and the local geology extensively at a desktop level, but nothing beats seeing these areas from on the water. It’s also just a beautiful part of the world and we always enjoy our time in Portland.We also took the opportunity to get out on the water and view some key features of the Portland coastline. Local skipper Rob Davis of Shoreline Charters expertly navigated our team across the choppy waters around Cape Nelson. During the tour we spotted local seal and gannet colonies and were lucky enough to catch glimpses of a few dolphins too.”Linden BlairProject Development Manager, Spinifex Offshore
