Meet our sponsors - TAMS Group
Australian marine services company TAMS Group is once again sponsoring the Channel 7 Port to Pub with Hotel Rottnest. The TAMS team plays a crucial part in the event, providing the huge TAMS Tugboat that sits at the 1500m mark of the race (swimmers must not proceed past this point until they have met up with their paddler and support boat). Did you know that the TAMS crew also lays out all the buoys for along the Port to Pub 19.7km and 25km courses?

“What is the fuel I need for the work required?”...This is the only question you need to ask yourself this year.
Stop asking “should I go low carb” as a blanket solution to your poor choices.
“FUEL FOR THE WORK REQUIRED” ensures you get the best of both worlds.
Meet our sponsors - Hotel Rottnest
Once you’re across the finish line and walk up on onto the beautiful white beaches of Thomson Bay, you’ll be looking up at Hotel Rottnest, which welcomes you, your team and support crew to come and celebrate your swim!
We are proud to be associated with this iconic, much loved venue and couldn't be more grateful for the support Hotel Rottnest has given us since the event began.

Fundraising Spotlight - Earbus Foundation
We have been profiling the work our 2020 charity partner, the Fremantle Foundation is doing in the WA community, supporting wide range of programs to help groups in need.
