- 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.read moreread less

Nathan Kirkpatrick2/23/2026 - 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 againread moreread less

J Train2/14/2026Fantastic 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 nightread moreread less(opens in a new tab)
Catalina Macfarlane2/08/2026 - A fantastic day out. We booked the four-hour self-drive and would highly recommend it to anyone wanting to see Melbourne from a different perspective. The boat was comfortable, clean, and very easy to drive. It’s an experience suitable for everyone. Self-catering is simple, with a small fridge, esky, glassware, and tablecloths all provided.read moreread less

Paris Pereira2/01/2026Great experience with Melbourne Boat Hire company. The team at the pier are super friendly and most of the boats have roofs which I highly recommend in Summer it rained on our night rental, we were really grateful for the cover. Alot of other boat rentals had no cover. Will use this company again. Thanks for having us.read moreread less(opens in a new tab)

Lance Ralls1/26/2026Thanks Alex for a wonderful, very peaceful, and relaxing cruise up the Yarra. I highly recommend the romantic lunch for 2.
