Australian Open Water Taxi Transfers – Arrive at Melbourne Park by Boat
The Australian Open is one of Melbourne’s biggest sporting events, attracting tennis fans from across Australia and around the world to Melbourne Park each summer.
With thousands of spectators travelling into the precinct each day, getting to and from the Australian Open can be almost as challenging as securing a great seat.
Melbourne Boat Hire offers a different way to start your day at the tennis — arrive by boat along the Yarra River.
Skip the Traffic and Take the Yarra River
During the Australian Open, Melbourne’s roads, public transport and parking around the sporting precinct can become extremely busy.
Instead of spending your time sitting in traffic or searching for parking, turn the journey into part of the experience.
Our Australian Open water taxi and private boat transfer services allow you to travel along the Yarra River towards the Melbourne Park sporting precinct while enjoying some of the best views of Melbourne along the way.
It’s a memorable way to begin a day at one of the world’s great sporting events.
Private Australian Open Boat Transfers
For groups wanting something more exclusive, Melbourne Boat Hire can arrange private boat transfers for the Australian Open aboard selected vessels from our fleet.
Depending on your group size and requirements, we can tailor your transfer with convenient pickup locations along the Yarra River.
Private transfers are ideal for:
- Corporate groups and client entertainment
- Hospitality guests
- Families and groups of friends
- Interstate and international visitors
- VIP and private transfers
- Pre-event functions and celebrations
Rather than simply travelling to the tennis, your journey becomes part of the occasion.
Corporate Australian Open Hospitality
The Australian Open is also one of Melbourne’s premier corporate entertainment opportunities.
A private cruise or water transfer provides an impressive way to entertain clients, staff or business partners before heading to Melbourne Park.
Depending on the vessel and booking, catering and beverage packages may also be available, allowing your group to enjoy drinks or a meal while cruising through Melbourne before continuing to the tennis.
For larger groups, our team can discuss vessel options and create a transfer or cruise package around your Australian Open plans.
Make a Day of It on the Yarra
Already have your transport to the Australian Open organised?
You can still incorporate the Yarra River into your day with a private cruise before or after the tennis.
Melbourne Boat Hire offers a range of skippered vessels as well as our popular self-drive boats, which can be hired without a boat licence.
A cruise through Melbourne is an ideal addition to an Australian Open weekend, particularly for visitors looking to experience more of the city while they’re here.
Book Your Australian Open Water Transfer
The Australian Open is one of the busiest periods of Melbourne’s summer events calendar, so advance bookings are strongly recommended.
Whether you’re organising a private transfer for a small group, corporate hospitality, or a larger Australian Open event, Melbourne Boat Hire can tailor a boating experience to suit.
Arrive at the Australian Open differently. Skip the traffic, take to the Yarra River and make the journey part of the experience.
