A 54-year-old woman was recovered from the water, however she died at the scene.

Mandurah detectives spent Sunday morning searching for the second woman, 52, after she was unable to be found.

Police confirmed on Sunday afternoon the woman had been found dead.

A 47-year-old man, who was believed to be driving the boat, was taken to the Royal Perth Hospital with serious injuries.

A second man, 54, was also on the boat at the time of the crash but was uninjured.

Duty Inspector Vic Hussey told the ABC on Sunday that police were searching the water for others who were possibly missing.
