Highly recommend this boat for your next event! We celebrated my sisters hens day and we had the most AMAZING time!! The staff were incredibly kind, attentive and so helpful. Nothing was too hard for any of them and they made the trip so enjoyable. All my guests were commenting how lovely the staff were and how friendly they all were. The food and beverage options were extensive and promptly served, dietary requirements were covered and everything was just perfect!

“Voodoo” 40ft Riviera Cruiser Motor Yacht Rental in Docklands, Victoria
My family and I celebrated my birthday yesterday and it was delightful. The boat is luxurious and very comfortable. Our captain was a lot of fun as well as being informative about the sights of Melbourne. It was so much fun that we are all still talking about it. I would highly recommend Pleasure Cruising for any event.

We had a great day. An exiting day. An informative day. Dean was great to meet and sail with. He did his best to accomodate everything we wanted. He was friendly, and easy to interact with, answering all our many questions and helping us greatly in our growing understanding of the world of sailing. I would have no hesitation in recomending Dean and his lovely boat to anyone wanting any of the sailing experinences he offers or one you might design yourself. Highly recomended. Michael.
