What to expect
You'll board at Docklands and cast off with your private skipper at the helm. The cruise winds past key riverside sights—think parklands, heritage buildings, and the city skyline—at a relaxed pace. Your wine arrives chilled and the cheese board is already laid out, so you settle in and graze whilst the Yarra slides past. It's unhurried and intimate; no tour commentary, no herded groups. Conversation flows easily. Ninety minutes passes quickly.
