If you want to explore Melbourne’s iconic Yarra River  BBQ outing in a unique and exciting way, boat hire is an experience like no other. If you’re an outdoors enthusiast seeking a new adventure, boat hire along the Yarra is the perfect way to discover the city from a different perspective. Whether you’re floating through the historic docks or seeking peace and quiet in the fresh air, an afternoon on the water with Yarra River Boat Hire Melbourne will make you fall in love with Melbourne all over again.

Our Spaceships are perfectly designed for long range yarra river  boat hire experience.  We highly recommend a 4 hour cruise to take in the sites. Our boats allow from Docklands passing the following land marks:

Once passing Herrig Island enjoy you have the river to yourselves with no other grey boats to be seen due to their limited speed of  4 knots and limited range ability.

No boat license is required and boating experience is not necessary. Various options allow you to choose between 2 or 4 hours of boating, which will carry the boat comfortably holding up to 12 passengers at a time! The space on board was designed so that everyone has ample room; there are two picnic tables and deluxe luxury lounge seating as well! A BBQ facility can also be provided by request for BYO food and drinks. There is a private screen and port-a-loo facilities on board.

Enjoy a leisurely ​​Deluxe Spaceships Yarra River Boat Hire self-drive experience with up to 12 guests from Docklands to Herring Island. Or cruise into the bay, anchor off St Kilda beach for a BBQ, and swim with our four-hour package (t&c’s apply).

  • Proper Steering Wheel (no awkward arm behind your back tiller steer) means less stress for the driver and a more comfortable drive. Having a steering wheel provides the same driving experience as driving a car. A tiller steer means having an outstretched arm at all times and it is outdated.  We phased out tiller steer boats.  It’s very confusing to drive and is a less safe boat hire experience. The driver has no comfortable seating arrangement steering the boat..go boat tiller steering
