Spectacular Sunset & city lights
Matt & Gabriel excellent hosts. Cruise started out in wet rainy conditions but Melbourne turned its charm on ending in a perfect sunset. Our 12 group of ladies, Women Who Walk from Mackay enjoyed the tranquil but scenic city views & lights of a sunset cruise. Highly recommend cruise. Perhaps some crackers, cheese & snacks could be provided by the hosts as part of cost.

What a perfect day!
Eloped from Darwin with my partner. We arranged a two hour cruise, communication leading up to the day was first rate - all questions promptly answered. On the day our small group of 8 cruised as long the Yarra, enjoying the company along with the wine and cheese platter provided. Excellent service, wonderfully presented boat and a very engaging skipper. Thanks for making our special day that much better!
Operator response
