I would definitely recommend and do this again
Thank you for your care with the wet weather, helping set up our guests and making sure we’re all comfortable and having fun.
I recommend having your milestone birthday in this boat! 5 stars!
Our group of 12 booked the 1.5-hour Sunset Cruise with Melbourne Boat Hire, and despite a dramatic downpour right at boarding time, it turned out to be an unforgettable experience. Captain Matt and deckhand Gabriel welcomed us aboard with calm professionalism and good humour—thankfully, we had the boat all to ourselves!
After a thorough safety briefing from Matt, we set off through the port and up the Yarra River toward the city. The tide was high, so we couldn’t pass under one of the bridges, but it didn’t dampen our spirits. About 20 minutes in, the rain eased and gifted us a stunning sunset—absolutely perfect for photos and memory-making.
Matt was incredibly informative, sharing insights about the area as we cruised along. The boat itself was cosy, dry, and warm—just what we needed after the soggy start. And yes, the champagne was chilled to perfection!
Thanks Matt and Gabriel for turning a rainy evening into a golden one. Highly recommend Melbourne Boat Hire for anyone looking to see the city from a fresh, scenic perspective.
🙏Melbourne Boat Hire for the great food
Our boat was nice and tidy.
Melbourne Boat Hire staff are so polite and lovely people.
I recommend " Melbourne Boat Hire"
Our vessel, Eliza J, glided her way through the CBD via the river.
She was comfortable and easy to skipper.
Went with a couple of friends for the birthday of my partner.
Thank you to our knowledgeable and super capable skipper, James.
James was more than accomodating and made the experience even more special for me and my wife. Thanks again James!
If you plan on using their Champaign glasses, they are not the best for the holders provided and easily tip over with any wave.
overall, we had an excellent trip.
Crew and the weather played its part in the feel good experience we all had.
It was a birthday party attended by 25 people of all ages.
Everyone enjoyed it.
Wish we had it for longer.
However, anymore than 20 guests is a bit of crowding on this boat. A microwave oven may be a good addition if possible.
Very good experience overall.
The company is well run and their skipper Finn was very nice to greet us and explain everything we needed to know. The booking and waivers and on the day experience all ran smoothly. No issues. You can park on the streets around and or in the open car park across from St Mangos Ln.
I highly recommend this boat rental and would love to do it again!
