Passengers stranded as private charter boat runs out of fuel near Point Walter Reserve

A charter boat carrying dozens of passengers, including children, has been stranded off Point Walter Reserve after reportedly running out of fuel.

Water Police received reports of a vessel running out of fuel and at anchor in waters just off the affluent riverside suburbs of Bicton, Attadale and Dalkeith about 3pm on Wednesday.

Vision of the unfolding incident shows one police boat floating several metres from the High Roller.

A large number of people can be seen standing on the deck at the back of the stranded vessel, with several appearing to capture the bizarre incident with their mobile phones.

A WA Police spokesperson confirmed a Marine Rescue crew was towing the boat back to shore, adding that they had “nil concerns for any of the occupants on board”.

There have been no reports of injuries.

Websites advertising the High Roller say it is known for its “relaxing vibe and laid back crew”.

“This is definitely one of the more fun boats for hire on Perth waters,” they reads. “This vessel has a great spacious deck, perfect for a party.”
