What a delightful cruise with friendly, helpful crew and a very informative narrative along the way. Complimentary tea and coffee was a nice touch. The cruise was an hour each way, and we choose a 2 hour stop over in Williamstown which was plenty of time for sightseeing and a bite to eat. We can highly recommend this cruise.

It was a hot Sunday long weekend. Boat did not run to advertised times making it difficult to meet our other bookings for the day

Friendly captain and crew. Good way to learn about the history of important bridges along Yarra river. We booked the round trip and have the option of returning to the city at 1:45pm or 4 pm.

The commentary was interesting, but unfortunately it was 33 and in the afternoon so everyone was hot and bothered.

The trip was informative, but I am afraid there was screaming children, and you could not hear what was being said. I liked Williamstown, it was very cute. Found a nice place for coffee, though Australians do not make it hot enough. While waiting for the ferry, I had a nice wine overlooking the Harbour. It is not the businesses fault about the screaming children but maybe their could be a little play area to amuse them.

Great way to see the city from a different point of view, particularly with visitors. Boat was basic and it wasn’t really clear drinks were available on board. The recorded commentary was clear but one way the captain was very difficult to understand.

Jim_H

Nothing. There was no tour of the city just a boat ride through a harbour full of shipping yards. No one was interested in a harbour that we saw as we were coming in on our cruise ship. A waste of time and money.

An interesting journey on the water to a lovely old seaside town. Who doesn't love travelling by boat?! Even saw a dolphin on the way.

A thoroughly enjoyable experience! We organised a trip for relatives - 11 in total with ages ranging from 1yr to 80yrs. We all loved the trip to Williamstown and back! The crew were so friendly and professional, and they made everyone feel comfortable and welcome. The information provided about historical sights was really interesting too. I highly recommend this cruise anyone!

Had a great day Cruising slowly down the Yarra to Williamstown. The journey took approximately 1 hour. At Williamstown, we had leisurely walk around shops and had lunch at the park before catching the ferry back.
