I took some relatives on the Yarra River Sunset Cruise last Thursday. Logan was really friendly, and reassuring and supportive to a member of our group that had accessibility needs. We had a relaxing and lovely experience seeing the sights along the river. I emailed and phoned in advance with some questions, and they were very accommodating. I'd book again - they were great to deal with.

Celebrated my birthday on Harvey A. It was a cute and relaxed picnic on a boat. Kid friendly. Beautiful views of the city. Easy to drive. Customer service was really nice. It would’ve been better if all the zips on the blinds were working so we could’ve had more breeze.I would definitely recommend and do this again

We had an incredible night for a function on the Lady M on the weekend. The staff Nora and Fabio were welcoming and accomodating to all our needs. The boat is stunning and clean, and throughout the night the views you’re exposed to get better and better. We highly recommend this company for a fun night out or romantic experience 🙌🏼🤩

Fantastic experience!! Hired Birrarung for 2 hours for my birthday and it was great. Great crew, fantastic views and good space. Even with 35 people on board, it felt like a good amount of space. My only small thought is the platters provided were quite expensive considering their size so I would probably have opted to bring my own food instead but did it for the convenience. Still 10/10 night
