GroupVerified bookingNov 20255/5What a fabulous way to see the city & all sites along the river. It was such a relaxed way to end our day, champagne in hand, cruising the Yarra as the sun set behind us. Totally recommend this tour.AAnna G

GroupVerified bookingFeb 20253/5The boat was in good condition, clean etc and staff helpfull with drinks etc but there was NO engagement with the passengers. We got a very brief welcome and not a word more, nothing about where we were going, or any commentry about the harbour and Yarra river , just silence! I havent done many of these but the on the occasion I have there was some commentry. Regards Neal StillEEmelia C
CoupleVerified bookingJan 20253/5I thought there would be a bar on board - there wasn't (that's why i booked the tour) and i thought the bought would be bigger - i understand that one it was a small crowd but nevertheless would've felt really fancy being on a big boat with not many people
Sunset sailing on Lady M
Who says you can't find luxury on a budget? This 1.5-hour Yarra River cruise is easy on the wallet and big on views. The beautiful boutique boat, Lady M, seats only 25, providing plenty of space for everyone to unwind and enjoy the sights. With only a few people on board, it feels nice and private – perfect for a special evening with loved ones. The cruise is timed for sunset, so you'll see the city bathed in that gorgeous golden light while chilling out with your favorite drink from the boat's bar. They have snacks too!
See the sights, catch the lights
There's continuous live commentary on board, which highlights interesting sights along the way – from the massive Royal Botanic Gardens to historical buildings like Federation Square known for its modern design and art installations. You'll even see some famous sporting venues like the Melbourne Cricket Ground! Basically, no matter if you're into history or just love pretty scenery, there's something for everyone. And just when you think it can’t get any better, the Crown Casino puts on a special light show with fireballs lighting up the river and the night sky. It’s an amazing way to cap off a perfect cruise.
