Had a great time. Nick met us at the docklands and was super friendly and informative. Hired the Aussie pontoon and BBQ. The BBQ is a portable double gas burner which we used to cook our steak on just fine.

We were thoroughly impressed with the hire boat party service we experienced. The vessels provided were in excellent condition, offering a comfortable and enjoyable setting for our celebration. Safety was clearly a top priority, as evidenced by the thorough measures in place. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and we highly recommend their services. We look forward to booking with them again in the future.

Skipper Ian is an excellent operator and very helpful.
Entire crew is very friendly and the boat was perfect for our small group too 👍
Watching fireworks on Yarra was a life time experience.

We hired one of Boat4Hire’s fishing boats and had an absolutely amazing experience. The whole process was smooth and hassle-free from start to finish. The boat was clean, well-maintained, and easy to operate, making it perfect even for people who aren’t experienced boaters.
The staff were friendly, professional, and super helpful, giving us clear instructions and great local fishing tips. We had an awesome day out on the water thanks to how well the boat was set up.
If you’re looking for a reliable and affordable fishing boat hire, I couldn’t recommend Boat4Hire more. We’ll definitely be coming back!

Our first time we have done a boat hire self-drive experience. A lovely afternoon on the spaceship with the family. Was easy to book and the boat was easy to drive. Highly recommend boat 4 hire service.

Easy transaction and start of hire, that’s about the only positive though. We hired Speedy for fishing on the bay but was very disappointed. Boat is old and in need of many repairs, sounder not working properly, would not go above 8 knots, not sure why they have a 100hp outboard. I am a licensed operator so should have been able to get boat up on plane if needed. Made fishing the bay extremely restrictive due to not being able to move about easy. Bait board broken, most guages don’t work including fuel gauge. Overall for the price I expected a better quality boat with all equipment working properly. Would not recommend for fishing in the bay, ok for putting around the river only.

The boat was clean and well presented, with everything ready to go. Booking was easy, I believe good value for money.
We had a little miss calculation with petrol and arrived a little later but Gary was very understanding. We appreciated that. I will definitely use them this coming summer

We had a booking for 11:15 and as per the bookings we arrived 15mins early (actually 20) and only reason we located the place was because we could see the boat. No signage , no stand or boot with any person to greet you on your arrival. The staff rocked up on a bicycle at 11am and told us to wait as she would have to get organised. The boat was not clean and ready for us to board until 11:47 and there were no BBQ. Although the name suggest it’s a bbq boat but apparently it’s extra $25 to have a bbq. Which they agreed to provide free of charge after we express our disappointment.
We also had to dock our own boat as the one and only staff member was too busy getting other boats organised. Whilst she did the best she could I think the business has zero regard for safety nor quality of service. I had to jump of the boat myself and tie it down and we left without even getting a chance to thank the staff because she was just so busy.

Whatever you do, DO NOT BOOK THIS. They didn't have all of the boats fully functional, some had umbrellas some didn't and it was a 30 degree day where you absolutely needed the umbrellas, the staff treated you like dirt on their shoe, especially the female worker. The female worker was yelling at my wife and I and the other party that were also waiting ages and expecting a boat with an umbrella. They were running late so we weren't on the boat until 45 minutes after the booking time which meant we had to cut it short as we had another activity booked afterwards. It was an absolutely shocking experience and i urge you not to book with them. The owner does not care to fix the problems and the staff said they deal with the same issues everyday and basically said it is what it is.
They provided us with a refund after we complained but honestly the whole experience was so stressful and upsetting its just not worth it.

The 6 of us had a great time cruising the river. The friendly staff upgraded us for Boxing day and we had a lot of space on the pontoon boat.
They also extended our booking time since they were slightly late.
Thanks all at Boat 4 Hire

We had a fantastic experience with renting a boat on a beautiful day with family , the staff are very thoughtful and considerate of all people . The only concern was the beeping engine with a red alarm on the boat towards the end which caused panic for the family and when we tried to call the emergency number there was no answer , I’m sure the management can easily improve the service .

It was a wonderful experience. This was the first time we ever drive a boat by ourselves, but the staff was extremely friendly and helpful and guided us exactly what how to do. 1 hour of great fun. Would recommend this all the way.

If you are looking for a fishing day or a private cruise, these guys have your back. Even if you don't have a marine licence, they still have options for you.
The boats are really nice for a day at the bay. The size is perfect, they have a bunch of options. Definitely worth trying.
Just show up there, you don't need to bring anything they will sort you out with bait, tackle, everything.
I just got my marine licence and was looking for a fishing day and they were extremely kind to help me and not only arrange a boat at the last moment but also to teach me one thing or two about boats to improve my experience.
Thanks to them we had a safe and pleasing day and got plenty of flatheads and pinkies. In already planning my return.

Outstanding customer service! I was looking to book a boat last minute to accommodate additional members in my plan. Gem was really helpful in finding me a boat at such short notice. She promptly sent me pictures of the available ones and booked it smoothly.
After all this effort, Just an hour before the ride my father got a heart attack and we had to cancel the plan. There is usually no refund on cancellation at last minute. She not only refunded me the money but was so kind to wish well for my father. I was touched by the way they handled this. Very professional yet kind.
