Absolutely loved the GoBoat experience!
The whole experience was so much fun, relaxing, and different from the usual Melbourne activities. Having our own boat on the Yarra River made it even more special, and the Melbourne skyline looked beautiful from the water.❤️
We had a great two hour cruise on our GoBoat. The staff were amazing and the boat was easy to use, the information you’re given about routes and bridges is very helpful.
We did have a technical problem with our boat but I can’t take any stars off for this as the staff were really good and someone came to rescue us and check on our boat. I would recommend GoBoat as it is a lovely way to see the city.

Tom was great, explained everything well.
The ride was really nice, provided a map and gave recommendations for our trip down the river. Definitely recommend we had a great time. Thank you!
Great fun. Highly recommend.
We went up the river and decided to extend our hire time. Was easy to do with a phone call while on the boat. We took our own food and drink. Friendly staff. We will definitely do it again! Thanks go boat! Kerri & Fletch
Used GoBoat Melbourne as part of some Birthday Celebrations, the views from the river are spectacular and a unique way to view the city.
The staff were super helpful. We were very well looked after by Sean! Would definitely recommend this to anyone, local or tourist, a great way to see the city. Make sure you bring some snacks to enjoy along the way :)
