Whiskey was the standout, but the show had something for everyone!
The most frustrating was the multiple mentions stating boarding would begin at 8, with a sharp departure at 8:30. At 8:41, we were still in the mess of the queue, not boarded. (See attached image for proof).
We were advertised a 5 hour cruise, between Williamstown and a journey up the Yarra. We spent majority of the night back and forth within a short area, parking next to some container boats within Docklands for up to an hour at one stage. The cruise was also advertised as 5 hours, but was roughly 4. Why was this sold to us as a 5 hour package between these locations if this was not the case.
Following on, the food was good, but lacked majority of the variety that was described on the website. No prawns, or seafood of any kind for the entire evening. By the time we boarded, the tables were almost empty save for some fruit. No cheese, no crackers, no mini meals.
The bar staff were friendly, the people bringing the food were friendly. There are no complaints there.
Overall, the views were fine, the cruise was by no means awful, but I would be cautious of their advertising and them delivering on what was promised.

This year 2025 was so terrible and disappointing!! We left the docklands late, didn't go all the way to Williamstown just keep going backwards and forwards not far past the Bolte Bridge! Bar staff didn't know what they were doing, drink i asked for was terribly mixed and i ended up tipping out and i paid for the drinks package!, captain got in trouble by the water police for not being on the right side of the water!! Security guards made it so uncomfortable like we were robbing bank watching everyone's every move!!
Sat just 100 mt from the docklands dock for an hour waiting for the count down at midnight with no count down to welcome in the new year
Last year we saw a 360 view of the fire works and this year we could only see what was in front of us, and we were sooooo close to the fire works we could feel it in our bodies every time the fire works went off!!!
It was so under whelming that I considered jumping off the boat and swimming over to docklands as it was so close and I can't even swim but was will to give it a go!!!
. all jokes aside, it was terrible and we were the first ones off the boat, would actually like our money back!!!
Never again!!









The night is split into two groups. While one group watches the burlesque show the other has access to the bar, dance floor and food. We came as a group of 8 and had a really great time. The atmosphere is really fun.
During the burlesque show they ask if anyone is celebrating anything and will come to you in your seat to chat about it. If you have anxiety, I suggest not saying that you’re celebrating. There is a part where they ask for volunteers but they will not push you to go up. The burlesque show was super fun! CoraNoire blew us away during her act and we’d love to see her again.
The food servers were excellent and were great to joke with getting the nicknames bestie 1 & bestie 2. The bar line did take awhile, they put up with a few rude people and done great but looked like they would’ve benefited from another person working with them.
Overall we had a great time and would definitely return Xo
Comedy was great. The show was amazing. Food and drinks were plentiful and delicious. Really enjoyed our night.
Would recommend.
We enjoyed everything from the food, to drinks, to live band to DJ.
We cruise with other company in the boat but the my experience for the second time around never fails my expectations as well as my colleague.
Everyone made a good feedback of that they experience with the lady cutler.
Keep up the good work.


Seating on the boat can be narrow on the outskirts as guests pass each other by and as the nights gets on, slippery caused from spills and shattered glass (we can't imagine how many glass and bottles get dropped into the bay). Very sticky floors inside
Smoking is allowed onboard, but shame that it doesn't get respected by the guests on board as it doesn't get put out properly and becomes smokey for other guests and non-smokers, however staff didn't attend to it either to put it out for some time
Catering and bar staff were nice. The music on the lower deck was good, but can be conflicting with the upper deck with the band. Good to see people having a good time though.
We did enjoy the route,but was good to see and experience the bay and surroundings in a different view and afternoon sunset.







Captain was very rude and arrogant
A very disturbing and distressing boat ride couldn’t wait to get off
