The rush you get from being out on the water is made even bigger by having the freedom to take charge of a boat yourself. On Melbourne’s Yarra River you can do just that with no boat licence or experience required, so you can be the captain of your own ship. Your vessel is an intimate boat that can seat up to ten people in its luxury quarters for your two hour boat hire. Get away from the busy Melbourne streets and cruise around the beautiful Yarra River as the sights swirl by. You can spot plenty of city landmarks from the Botanical Gardens, Herring Island Park, the Melbourne Cricket Ground, Southbank, Federation Square and Docklands, as well as the jetties, parks, footbridges and lush banks that line the river.  Whether you’re taking an intimate cruise for two or getting the whole crew together, this is an easy way to level things up and fulfill your boating aspirations. Enjoy some drinks and snacks on board as you journey down the river for a memorable day out. The boat has the option of fully enclosing the cabin with transparent covering, just in case the weather turns. It’s also an eco-friendly electric powered vessel, so without engine noise and fumes you can just kick back and enjoy the excitement of taking your private hire boat along Yarra River.
