Host Your Next MICE Event on the Water with Melbourne Boat Hire

Cruise the Yarra River Melbourne to showcase your MICE event

Looking to take your next corporate event, incentive, or team experience to the next level? Forget stuffy boardrooms and generic venues—Melbourne Boat Hire offers premium on-water experiences that are anything but ordinary.

From intimate meetings to stylish incentive cruises, we help companies and event planners deliver events that make an impact.

✔️ Private Boat Transfers with a Twist

Need to get your team or clients from point A to B? Skip the traffic and make a statement with private boat transfers along the Yarra River. It’s fast, scenic, and far more memorable than a bus ride. Tailor it to your requirements with the option for champagne and nibbles served during transfer and the option for adding company branding.

✔️ Fully-Catered Boat Charters for Corporate Events

Whether it’s a business lunch, product launch, or networking event, our luxurious skippered vessels provide a unique backdrop for your brand. Add gourmet catering, fine wine, and onboard service to impress your guests and make every moment count.

  • Seated or cocktail-style setup
  • Custom cruise durations and routes
  • Branded experiences available on request

✔️ Self-Drive Boat Hire – For Teams Who Like a Challenge

Perfect for team-building or incentive groups, our eco-friendly self-drive boats let your crew take the wheel—literally. No boat licence required, just a sense of adventure. It’s a fun, hands-on activity that builds camaraderie and gets people talking.

  • Ideal for small group challenges or leisure time
  • Bring your own food and drinks, or choose from our optional add-ons

✔️ Small Group Skippered Cruises
