 Kimberley Coast Scenic Cruising Tuesday, 18th April 2023


Map of ship entering Prince Frederick Sound.

Prince Frederick Harbour lies at the southern end of the York Sound in the Kimberley Region. One of the most scenic inlets of the coast. There are a number of islands lying in the harbour, Boongaree Island being the one of the larger. The islands are lined with mangoes and monsoon rainforests, set against a backdrop of ochre-hued escarpments. Extreme tides dominate this pristine marine environment. 





Sparkling waters of the sound with numerous islands in background. 


Escarpments veiled in smoke from fires created from lightning strikes from Cyclone IIsa. 


Beautiful hues from setting sun as we sail out of the sound. 


Sun setting over the many islands as we sail west, from this remote marine park.
