Getting around by boat

With a river running through it and a bay next door, Melbourne is a great city to make your way around by boat... and you don't even have to own one!

 

Enjoy Melbourne from the water on the Yarra River - jump on a Melbourne Water Taxi or take a scenic cruise departing from Southbank. You can even create your own itinerary and charter a boat from operators at Melbourne Docklands.
