Great way to see Melbourne while enjoying a relaxing time cruising to Williamstown and getting some great commentary and inside knowledge of key landmarks. Staff on board were very knowledgeable and friendly. Would highly recommend this return trip as a very relaxing experience of getting from Melbourne to Williamstown and back. Hassle free travel.
Great trip to Williamstown on a sunny day with a comedic captain full of the real stories of local knowledge. Highly recommend
Ticket master unfriendly, Ferry ran 1 hour late, which we understand was due to tide but only a handful of people were told and the rest found out by other travellers, not the company staff. Strong smell of fuel in ferry due to windows being closed. Didn’t come back on return trip, caught a 20 min train ride back to Melbourne.
A calm relaxing cruise taking you down the Yarra and out to Williamstown. Good commentary explaining some of Melbourne’s history. Williamstown is quaint and a nice stop for a fish and chips lunch. Thrill seekers and those who love action may find the cruise boring as due to pace and not a lot of action in Williamstown. Feels like a step back in time.

Worth every cent
Absolutely fantastic trip and day out. Definitely worth doing and we were lucky enough to have a beautiful 32 degree day with a nice breeze. Enjoyed having time to look around Williamstown and have a really nice lunch while there. Would highly recommend this trip.
