Must do for couples and those looking for a night out on the Yarra to experience Melbourne’s CBD beauty.
Must do for couples and those looking for a night out on the Yarra to experience Melbourne’s CBD beauty. Staff were amazing and accommodated all requests. Professional in ever manner bringing drinks out all night while having a chat about the cruise and city itself. All 3 course meals were perfect and served within a good time which allowed us to experience the top deck and have drinks in between meals. 10/10 would recommend.

The first time my partner and I have tried this. She has always wanted to go and so we did it.
The first time my partner and I have tried this. She has always wanted to go and so we did it. The food was very good better than I expected and complimented with unlimited alcohol how could you go wrong? The staff were very attentive and well-mannered. The only fault and this is very minor would be the route we take. Maybe we can’t go the other way on the Yarra and so we have to go that way. But then again that’s a very minor one.

Warm boat on a very cool evening. Terrific service and a great choice of meals.
Warm boat on a very cool evening. Terrific service and a great choice of meals. The ambience is great. Good boarding spot and very smooth sailing. Staff accommodated us by taking family photos and were very attentive and careful with the food with two of our party who had coeliac disease.
