Matt made it very easy to organise and plan how the proposal would run, advising on location, signals that the skipper would give so I would know, to hiding the flowers and champagne till after she said yes.

On the day, we had Darren as the skipper and a better skipper you could not ask for. He pointed out some sights, engaged in conversation and when it came time for the proposal he filmed it so we could capture the special moment.

I would highly recommend this tour for anyone looking for a special way to propose as my partner loved it.

I will definitely be recommending this company to friends and family.

Will also book one of their other tours again as it would be a great way to spend an afternoon with friends on one of their boats.

Thanks again to the guys at Melbourne Boat Hire for making the special day even better. read less

Everyone was very accommodating, the booking was easy to make, the selection of wine and spread of food (various biscuits, cheeses and fruits) was amazing and was a delightful experience by all. Very easy to find and extremely friendly staff. The boat was very clean, modern, and a quiet electric-engine. I couldn't recommend Melbourne Boat Hire more highly. read less

We pulled off an amazing proposal with less than 24 hours notice in what was a very calm and warm Melbourne night. An experience worth having seeing this incredible city from a different view.

Within 10 minutes of emailing, I received a reply to my initial requests and everything was set up and ready to go! Calls to Matt were received immediately and everything was simple and easy. Constant communication and reminders leading up to the date was also appreciated.

When we arrived at the boat, Matt and his employee were waiting for us and ready to show me through the set up. Controlling the boat is very easy - if you can drive a golf cart you can drive the boat! The boat itself is beautiful and looks much better than the pictures (not to say those look bad!) While cruising the Yarra we were the envy of many!

Overall a fantastic experience and a very memorable occasion for us, and it was made all the much easier by Matt and his team. I would strongly recommend this to anyone even remotely interested. You won't be disappointed, I can assure you of that. read less
