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.

Melbourne from the rivers edge
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.

Melbourne Cruise
Good cruise. But the sound system on board was drowned out by crowd noise. That made it very difficult to hear what seemed to be an informative commentary. It would be better to supply individual headsets or fit more speakers.

Nice trip but basic boat and late with no apology
Nice trip to Williamstown but boat very basic and return trip was half an hour late without apology or explanation.
