Passengers stranded as private charter boat runs out of fuel near Point Walter Reserve
Water Police received reports of a vessel running out of fuel and at anchor in the affluent riverside suburb of Bicton about 3pm on Wednesday.
Vision of the unfolding incident shows one police boat floating several metres from BlueSun2 Charters' High Roller.
A large number of people can be seen standing on the deck at the back of the stranded vessel, with several appearing to capture the bizarre incident with their mobile phones.
A WA Police spokesperson said they were unable to provide further details, other than to confirm a marine crew was responding.
It is not believed there have been any reports of injuries.
BlueSun2 Charters' website states the High Roller is known for its 'relaxing vibe and laid back crew'.
'This is definitely one of the more fun boats for hire on Perth waters,' it reads.
'This vessel has a great specious deck, prefect for a party.'
The West Australian has contacted BlueSun2 Charters for comment.

Central Cee: Fight breaks out during UK rapper's Perth concert at RAC Arena
Young rap fans have been left scared and in shock after a teenage boy allegedly attacked a woman during Central Cee's Perth concert at RAC Arena on Wednesday night. The British rapper, real name Oakley Neil Caesar-Su, took to the arena stage about 9pm to perform for thousands of fans of all ages for the last show on his Can't Rush Greatness world tour. With the 27-year-old drill star bringing his West London energy to a hyped crowd, things took a turn for the worse according to witnesses when the 17-year-old, in the seated section, allegedly turned around and started attacking a 25-year-old man and a 29-year-old woman enjoying the show. Witnesses alleged the boy started throwing punches about 9.40pm and continued for over two minutes. A video shared on TikTok captured part of the wild incident. Concertgoer Campbell Darby, who was sitting next to the woman, said he was left shaken up after witnessing the fight in front of him. The 20-year-old claimed he saw the woman 'fall unconscious'. 'They were right next to me, and I had to move out of the way, but the girl was knocked out, fully unconscious,' he said. 'I had to help the people next to me get out of the way so they didn't get hit.' Perth Police have since charged the Gosnells boy with one count each of assault occasioning bodily harm and common assault. A WA Police spokeswoman said officers patrolling the venue were alerted to a physical altercation about 9.45pm. 'It will be alleged; a 17-year-old male assaulted a 25-year-old man and a 29-year-old woman,' she said. 'Both victims sustained bruising to the head and face. 'It will be further alleged; the juvenile resisted arrest and was verbally abusive towards officers.' The boy was also charged with one count each of disorderly behaviour in a public place and obstructing public officers. Central Cee is a leading drill musician who frequently references gang culture and violence in his music. Mr Darby said he attended the concert aware that something like this might happen. 'I did not expect it to land on top of me,' he said. 'It completely turned my night around, and the people I was with were very shaken up after seeing that happen right in front of our eyes and seeing the poor girl unconscious on the floor.' Fellow Cee fan Don Salapang, 21, said she and the people she was with were all 'so scared and in shock'. 'I wouldn't say the fight completely ruined the experience, but it definitely brought down the mood significantly for everyone and some of us were torn, focusing on the aftermath of the fight and the actual concert,' she said. 'We felt bad going back to recording and acting like nothing happened. 'I don't think many people truly expect something as bad as that to happen at a concert, especially when there's young kids around too.' St John WA spokeswoman said paramedics were not called out to the scene. An RAC Arena spokesperson said patron and staff safety was staff's top priority. 'We are aware of the incident and are currently assisting WAPOL with their investigation into the matter.' The boy is due to face Perth Children's Court on July 29.
