THE PARTY

A floating social scene

This is an unapologetic party on the water: daytime music, a buoyant crowd and opportunities to gather on sandbars and islands for an upbeat outing with friends and family.

THE ROUTE

Short hops between sandbars and islands

The cruise moves through Melbourne’s waterways with planned stops at sandbars and islands, offering both cruising and on-shore moments within the two-hour window.

Wildlife sightings from the deck

Along the way passengers can look for local wildlife from the vessel and at shore stops, adding a quiet natural counterpoint to the otherwise festive atmosphere.
