Our Favourites

Harvey A is a fully electric-powered vessel, which means a quieter cruise for you and your guests with no fumes and emissions and the option of a fully enclosed cabin should Melbourne turn on inclement weather. With no license required and a self-drive hire option available, the Harvey A can be yours for a day or evening cruise. Take in Melbourne’s feature landmarks from a completely new perspective, away from the hustle and bustle of the busy streets such as the Botanical Gardens, Herring Island Park, the Melbourne Cricket Ground, Southbank, Federation Square, and Docklands, as well as the beauty of the Yarra surrounds of jetties, parks, and its breathtaking riverside beauty.
