Trip along the river highlighted the past and present for Melbourne. Informative and enjoyable. Pity the commentary was not in sync with each location. The boat needed a good clean and the staff could present better as one of Melbournes' tourist attractions. Value for money.

To Williamstown and back to see an exhibition. A lovely sunny day. Michael skipper on way over who was friendly and humorous, not sure who on the way back as they didn't introduce themselves. Both trips went at a pace where it was comfortable to have the windows open and not get cold. Good on boat commentary and good diverse choice of music.

The awful smell of fuel, breathing fumes and smelling like fuel until I could wash my hair again simply awful. The only outside chairs were exactly were the fuel tank was and it was so noisy that the loud speaker with the narrator explaing the view could not be heard it was just extra noise. The staff was not friendly either at the ticket booth no explanation was given at all n the guy had a dismissive attitude. I loved being so close to the water and enjoyed the view while I travelled but I think new ferries are required.

Nice easy ride over to Williamstown, a little away from the hassle and bustle of Melbourne CBD. A very steady ride for those who are weary on water rides like myself, the ferry is wide enough and river very much calm so it would not trigger any seasickness. For those who purchase tickets in advance, do note to head to the booth at Berth 2 to retrieve a physical ticket. Personally that was a bit unclear for us when we booked the tickets with a travel app.

Melbourne City is a fantastic city. Easy to get around with the trams, these are free within the cbd, & very little outside of the cbd, will take you anywhere you need to go.
Easy to follow routes.
City tram goes around the perimeter of the city which is free at all times, is very easy hop on hop off and will get you close to all major sights.
Reccomend Melbourne +++

What a delightful cruise with friendly, helpful crew and a very informative narrative along the way. Complimentary tea and coffee was a nice touch.
The cruise was an hour each way, and we choose a 2 hour stop over in Williamstown which was plenty of time for sightseeing and a bite to eat.
We can highly recommend this cruise.
