On a Boat

  • Tour
  • Cruise

Get on a boat and experience Melbourne's spectacular Yarra River with your crew. Skipper yourself or choose a skippered cruise, and you'll have a blast on Melbourne's waterways.

You don't need a boat licence to captain your own boat and explore the Yarra River under your own steam. Anyone can skipper these user-friendly electric boats. Boats are super easy to operate and can hold up to nine people.

With skippered cruise options you'll experience the very best of Melbourne. They provide the skipper, so all you need to do is focus on having an awesome time. Skippered cruises are for up to ten people.

BYO food and drinks.
