When exploring Melbourne’s stunning waterways, few experiences can match the luxury and convenience of a private skippered cruise. But what exactly is a skippered cruise, and why might it be the ideal choice for your next outing? Let’s dive into the details and explore the exceptional skippered cruise options available with Melbourne Boat Hire.

What is a Skippered Cruise?

A skippered cruise is a private boating experience in which a professional skipper takes the helm. For this, we use our small boats, Pia Mae or Sunny B. This allows you and your guests to relax and enjoy the journey without worrying about navigation or boating skills. It’s the ultimate way to experience the water in comfort and style, with the added assurance of having an experienced skipper handle all aspects of the boat.

A Boutique Experience for Up to 10 Guests

One of the standout features of a skippered cruise is its intimate, boutique nature. Melbourne Boat Hire specializes in providing tailored experiences for small groups, with our skippered cruises accommodating a maximum of 10 guests. This makes it ideal for various special occasions, from family gatherings and corporate events to intimate celebrations and social outings.

Why Choose a Skippered Cruise?

  • Relaxation: With a skipper in charge, you can sit back, relax, and enjoy the company of your guests. There’s no need to worry about the intricacies of boating – your skipper has it all covered.
  • Expert Navigation: Our skippers are highly knowledgeable about Melbourne’s waterways, ensuring a smooth and scenic journey. They know the best routes and hidden gems to make your cruise memorable.
  • Personalized Service: From helping with boarding to serving refreshments, your skipper is there to enhance your experience and attend to your needs.
  • Safety: Your safety is our priority. A professional skipper at the helm ensures you’re in capable hands, leaving you worry-free.
