If you’re looking for a fun way to see Melbs from a unique perspective then grab a GoBoat. We slapped on the sunscreen, packed a picnic and enjoyed the Yarra, the glorious sunshine, and the AO sights. I would definitely recommend these guys - the boats were simple to use and the team were friendly and professional. Thanks GoBoat!!

Treated the family to a 2 hour GoBoat picnic trip up the Yarra. What a great family excursion and fun and different way to see the city. Easy to drive and picnic table to use. Highly recommend 😍☀️❤️

I had a very great experience with my friends at GoBoat. Whether you want some relaxing time by yourself or a fun experience with friends or family, this is a great option. The booking process was smooth and straightforward. The staff took their time to explain the route, the rules, and how to use the boat in a very clear and easy to understand way. Using the boat itself is very simple, even for first time users. The boat was clean, well maintained, and equipped with a table, which made it comfortable for spending time on the water. The views were beautiful, and at one point I genuinely wondered why I had not tried this experience earlier. The price was reasonable, and since you can go as a group and split the cost, it becomes even more affordable for each person. The only point I would suggest improving is the timing of the explanation. Our booking was from 6:00 to 8:00, but we actually started the journey at around 6:20 and were still asked to return at 8:00 rather than 8:20. That said, this did not take away much from the experience, as we still enjoyed our time on the water and had a great evening together. Overall, it was a very enjoyable experience, and I would definitely come back again.

Want to enjoy the scenery and calm vibes of the Yarra River at your own pace? Hire a small boat and get out on the water. GoBoat makes it super easy—boats are clean, safe, and simple to ride. Highly recommended 👍

I’d definitely bring my parents here again. I love everything about this place and highly recommend it for celebrating special occasions on the South Yarra River. I had my birthday party here with 7 friends, and the staff were really kind and patient. With your own music playing, this is the good life! I visited before making the booking, and I realized the weather can make a big difference. Luckily, it was a perfect day—not too hot or too cold, with just the right amount of sunshine. GoBoat also provided plenty of umbrellas as backup, which was very thoughtful. Before departure, everyone signs in, and whenever we got close to shallow or restricted areas, they sent SMS alerts. I felt very safe the whole time.
