Royal Freshwater Bay Yacht Club
About
Overview & Vibe
Royal Freshwater Bay Yacht Club commands Keane’s Point at Peppermint Grove — a grand old club on one of the Swan’s prettiest bays, where lawns roll to the water and hundreds of masts sway below the terrace. It’s Perth’s blue-ribbon riverside wedding address.
Setting & Style
Ceremonies take the riverside lawn with an aisle facing the bay before receptions upstairs: the Roland Smith Room’s floor-to-ceiling bifold doors open onto a private balcony floating above the water for up to 200 seated with dancefloor or 580 cocktail, while the elegant Athol Hobbs Room hosts up to 80 seated or 300 cocktail. String quartets on the veranda, boat send-offs from the jetty and chandelier-draped ballroom nights are all in the club’s repertoire.
Ideal For
Couples wanting classic yacht-club refinement — lawn vows, water views from every window and a dedicated coordinator steering the day.
The Need-to-Knows
- Roland Smith Room: 200 seated with dancefloor / 230 without / 580 cocktail including balcony; Athol Hobbs Room: 50 / 80 / 300.
- Riverside lawn ceremonies with the bay as backdrop; jetty and dock for boat arrivals and departures.
- Dedicated Wedding Coordinator handles planning; packages simplify the process.
- Keane’s Point, 1 Hobbs Place, Peppermint Grove — fifteen minutes from both Perth and Fremantle.
Standout Feature
The private balcony over Freshwater Bay — champagne in hand, masts below, the Swan glowing gold behind the toasts.
