The perfect way to see Melbourne for a group We live in Melbourne and had a group of friends visiting from inter-state. Travelling the Yarra on the Lady M was the perfect way to see the city, while catching up at the same time. The boat is really well put together and the crew were lovely. Catering worked well and the ability to have the roof both open and closed was very helpful.read moreread less

jason m3/17/2025Loved it Took my wife on the dinner cruise for her birthday. I have to say from start to finish I couldn’t fault any of it. We were sent the menu a few hours before going. The boat was on time. The skipper was very professional, polite and actually a joy to talk to on our boat ride.
It was great to see the city from the river. Food was way above what we expected and was delicious.
Value for money worth every dollar for what you get. Five stars from us and I would highly recommend it.read moreread less(opens in a new tab)
