Quotes from our customers...
“The must do thing in Melbourne - on a boat and be the captain yourself especially for those boat lovers. It is indeed a good family outing thing to do.”
C Heng Tan, July 2025
“The crew of On a Boat were friendly, helpful and just overall easy to deal with! The boats were clean, able to accommodate up to 9 people and spacious. Theres a speaker, connect your phone, listen + sing along to your favourite music and pack some food. Great quality time with family or friends!”

R Bansal, May 2025
“We took a boat out yesterday for the first time for a family birthday and loved it! Super easy to operate, our 18 year old daughter was captain, she loved it! A very relaxing way to experience the city without the hectic hustle of roads and footpaths. Staff were super helpful and easy going. All round super rad experience! Highly recommend!”
C Hill, May 2025
“We booked a 1.5-hour boat ride, and it turned out to be an unforgettable and relaxing experience. I had never realized there were so many bridges along the Yarra River. From the boat, we watched people strolling along the riverbanks—some gathering with friends, others enjoying picnics with family.”
Steph G, April 2025
“⭐️⭐️ This was so much fun!!! ⭐️⭐️ To celebrate my sisters 60th we hired one of the self drive boats for 4 of us. The online booking was easy, and check in with the crew on arrival straight forward. All of the crew were so helpful providing information. I can highly recommend 'On a Boat hire', you will have a blast!!”
M McNeil, June 2025
“Cruising on a boat ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥by yourself is an absolutely wonderful experience that I would highly recommend to anyone! There’s something so special about being out on the water, enjoying the fresh air and breathtaking views, all while having the freedom to explore at your own pace. It’s not just about the boat itself, but about the entire journey and the connection you feel with the surrounding environment.”
