A WOODEN boat intercepted off the West Australian coast is carrying 12 Sri Lankans, police say.

Campers spotted the boat off Steep Point, near Shark Bay, in Western Australia's midwest region about 1.30pm (WDT) on Thursday.

A spokesman for Immigration Minister Chris Evans said customs immediately dispatched officers aboard a WA Fisheries vessel to investigate.

'Customs officers made contact with the vessel and escorted it through sheltered waters to anchor it through the night,' the spokesman said.

The 12 people on board had access to food and water but their health and well being was of primary concern, the spokesman said.

'Early advice indicates that those on board do not appear to have any particular health issues.'

Detective Sergeant Paul Matthews said it was a surprise to find the vessel so far south.

'I think this is the furthest a vessel has got without being detected on our shores,' Det Matthews told ABC Radio.

'The customs officers have spoken to them, they've identified them as being Sri Lankan.'

The group had identified themselves as shark fisherman, Detective Matthews said.

'But I'm not sure of any fishing equipment on board,' he said.

Two of the group had tried to swim ashore in treacherous waters when the boat was intercepted, Detective Matthews said.

'I believe it was quite a treacherous swim, it would have been very difficult and obviously Shark Bay didn't get its name for no reason,' he said.

The boat is anchored offshore while customs continue their investigation.

Mr Evans' spokesman said the intentions of the group were yet to be established and a decision on accommodation arrangements would be made once further information on their circumstances and travel reasons were established.
