The private company that owns Rottnest Express has struck a deal to buy the SeaLink ferry business and Captain Cook Cruises, substantially boosting its share of the key market.
ADAMS Group founder Adam Barnard has sold his stake in Western Australia's biggest tour operator and will step down as a director on March 1, but will remain involved with the company as a consultant to guide it through an expected phase of rapid expansion in the state's tourism sector.
Captain Cook Cruises has today announced it will extend its ferry services to Rottnest later this year, joining Rottnest Express and Rottnest Fast Ferries, which could create downward pressure on prices of trips to the island and boost jobs.
