Great evening with brilliant service. The food was first class and Melbourne lights as the night went dark, were a treat.

This was for a special birthday dinner for me organised by my husband. The staff were professional, welcoming and accommodating. The food was lovely and very filling. The drinks were flowing from the moment we boarded, they had non-alcoholic beverages, wine, bubbles, beers, spirits even water!! The boat had plenty of room despite being full. Only disappointing part was the actual cruise (which was 3 hours) only went less than a kilometer from start between overbridges over the Yarra River. This may have been due to tides?? and not being able to get under bridges, not sure but I assumed we would be going further.

It is long 3 hours. The boat drove around the same circle for 3 hours. The trip should be shortened to 2 hours. Tons of food. Could not tell what was on the seafood app. Service was good. Our table was in the middle of the boat. Not sure how some people got a window seat. Casual attire.
