ON A BOAT - Docklands, Victoria

Jason X.

Cruising on a boat ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥by yourself is an absolutely wonderful experience that I would highly recommend to anyone! There’s something so special about being out on the water, enjoying the fresh air and breathtaking views, all while having the freedom to explore at your own pace. It’s not just about the boat itself, but about the entire journey and the connection you feel with the surrounding environment.

One of the highlights for me was the opportunity to explore the city from a completely different perspective. Seeing the skyline, landmarks, and waterfront areas from the water was truly unique and so refreshing. It gave me a deeper appreciation for the city’s beauty and charm, something you can’t fully experience on land.

The peaceful atmosphere and the gentle sound of the water make it a great way to escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Whether you’re gliding along tranquil waters or discovering hidden spots along the shoreline, the sense of freedom and adventure is unmatched.

It’s also a great activity to share with friends or family, as it’s both relaxing and exciting. You can take your time, enjoy the journey, and even bring along some snacks or drinks to make it even more fun.

I will definitely come back and do it again. It’s an experience that combines stunning views, exploration, and a sense of serenity that’s hard to find elsewhere. If you’re looking for something unique to do, cruising a boat on your own is a must-try adventure that you’ll never forget!

We had booked a 1 hour boat hire aaaaand ended up running late. After speaking to the amazing staff they helped us out by allowing a few extra minutes. Ethan was super helpful with getting us on the water fast, clearly explained all safety instructions and how to self drive. He also gave great tips to make sure we made the most out of our time on the water then expertly guided us back to dock at the end of our time. All staff were polite, professional and really helpful.
Will definitely be back!

This is the best boat ride in Melbourne! Every dollar spent is absolutely worth it. The experience is fantastic, offering beautiful views of this wonderful city. A must-try for anyone visiting Melbourne!

Good boat ride, platter was good, no sun canopy unfortunately, no umbrellas either. Very easy to use and one could make it to both bridges in time and get back to the dock without penalty. Views are spectacular!!

We recently had the pleasure of taking a trip down the Yarra River with On A Boat, and I must say, it was one of the most pleasant experiences.

Our customer service person Emma did a fantastic job looking after us, including explaining the best way to get the most out of the experience.

An amazing perspective of Melbourne from the water, and the peacefullness while the hustle and bustle of the city was going on around us.

The boat itself was comfortable and clean. We had a group of 8 and there was still room for maybe a couple more. It was very manouverable, which helped a great deal negotiating the rowers and other craft on the water.

Would thoroughly recommend this to anyone looking for a relaxing and scenic way to experience Melbourne, for both locals and visitors.

Perfect place for boating staff is really helpful so cooperative. I was getting late due to traffic but they accommodate me and the guidance were perfect. The boats are really comfy and easy to handle even if you have kids with you. I really enjoyed my time. Love the staff thank you special thanks to Amma and Craig for helping us and teaching us how to drive a boat.

Thanks to the ON A BOAT team for helping us start NY25 with a banger! A special shoutout to Jeremy and the other awesome skipper for being such fantastic crew members—they truly made the experience even better.

We had a fantastic time celebrating the New Year on a boat. The stunning views, incredible atmosphere, and seamless organization made it the perfect way to kick off the year.

Highly recommend this experience to anyone looking to make their celebrations unforgettable!

We had an amazing time on the boat in Melbourne with our family! The experience was smooth, relaxing, and full of stunning views. Our operator, George, was fantastic—super friendly, knowledgeable, and made sure we were comfortable throughout the trip. He provided great insights about the area and made the whole journey enjoyable for everyone.

If you’re looking for a great way to explore Melbourne from the water, I highly recommend this experience. Thanks again, George, for making it such a memorable outing!
