About this tour
A two-hour lunch cruise along the Yarra River where you'll eat a three-course meal prepared with local produce while drifting past Melbourne's skyline. The kitchen sends out plated dishes timed with the boat's movement, so you're eating well above the waterline with the city's bridges and parks framed in every direction. Drinks flow throughout—soft options, wine, beer, spirits. It's leisurely dining afloat rather than rushed tourism.
Highlights
- Three-course banquet with main course choice
- Local and seasonal ingredients from Melbourne suppliers
- Yarra River views of bridges, parks, and landmarks

What to expect
You'll board at the Yarra River terminal and settle into your seat as the vessel pushes off. The first course arrives within minutes—something light and flavoured to complement the movement and views. Main courses are offered with choice; expect proper plating and portion sizes meant for actual hunger rather than show. Dessert follows. Throughout, you're watching the Southbank precinct, the city centre, and parkland slip past the windows. The pace is deliberate—no rushing between courses. Most passengers stay on deck when weather permits, though there's covered seating below. Service is attentive but unobtrusive.
