CRUISE MELBOURNE
Private Lunch or Sunset Cruise — Sparkling Wine & Canapes Included
Step aboard our 12-metre yacht at d'Albora Marina in Docklands and spend 2.5 hours exploring Melbourne from the water. We cruise slowly through Victoria Harbour, then up and down the Yarra River to Hobson's Bay — and if conditions allow, a little way out toward St Kilda, where you may spot the local seal colony or, if you're very lucky, a little penguin.
When the wind is right, we'll raise the sail on the river: a moment of quiet that surprises most guests. It's less of an ocean adventure and more of a private harbour cruise, with a touch of sail and silence. You're welcome to take the helm and steer, or simply sit back and watch the river life unfold around you.
Sparkling wine, hot and cold canapes, and spectacular city views are all included. You're also welcome to bring additional drinks aboard.
For 2 people: $650 | For 4 people: $750
