About

Meet the Skipper

Hello there, I’m the owner and operator of Wagonga Inlet Cruises. My name is Dave Donda.

I bring vast amounts of experience, being in the maritime industry for over 35 years holding certificates of competencies both as vessel Master and marine engineer. More recently, coming from 15 years in the highly safety conscious offshore oil and gas industry, I consider safety to be of the utmost importance for my passengers.

Over the years, I have also conducted cruises on the Barrier reef, the remote Kimberly, Whitsundays and New Caledonia. In addition, I also owned and operated a fishing and dive charter business out of San Remo, Victoria for some 17 years.

Time to semi retire and enjoy Narooma’s mild climate and the natural beauty Wagonga inlet has to offer. I enjoy the natural environment and Narooma abounds in it both in its flora and fauna.

Guided eco Kayak tours are coming soon with the beautiful historic eco friendly Wagonga princess as the support vessel.  Look out for that!
