Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    The best day!
    Fabio and Valentina were the crew on the day -
    They were amazing, so helpful and professional. The boat itself was stunning and perfect for the surprise 30th I had planned.

    Great service
    We booked the 3hr dinner river cruise. Unfortunately the boat had some mechanical issues but they managed to fix the problem and honoured an extension to the tour to make up the time. The drink was free flowing and plenty, service was with a smile but the food was just OK and lacked any vegetables. Having to share deserts between people was a different concept! Overall I enjoyed the trip and would recommend to anyone wanting to do a dinner river cruise.

    Experience Melbourne from a different view
    The views were amazing as you don’t usually get to experience Melbourne from the river. The driving was super easy and we didn’t need to worry about ferrys as they moved out of the way. We took one with a canopy but if you choose one without a canopy you can go to dock lands instead of south Yarra.

    Great way to get to AAMI Park
    Caught the Elizabeth Anne from Southbank to AAMI Park on Thursday night and suggest it is the best way to travel to a venue in the Olympic park region; all of the the staff were friendly and the boat was spotless. We also booked a return trip which was great way to get back to town after the event.

    New Years Eve Experience
    A family trip New Year’s Eve was spectacular watching the Fireworks on the YARRA near Federation square. The best spot to watch the fireworks and the boat4hire team were great.

    Marina for luxury yachts
    The Yarra's Edge and Marina is a mooring place for luxury yachts. It's alongside the ultra-modern Webb Bridge, which is structured to resemble the eel traps used by indigenous fishermen at the entrance of the Yarra River before white colonists arrived. It was once the swinging basin for interstate ships fot the Port of Medlbourne.
