GOBOAT MELBOURNE: OUR FAVOURITE BITS
A Review of GoBoat Melbourne
Imagine cruising down a river; glass full of wine in one hand, your favourite go-to snack in the other. The company is amazing, the sun is shining, the views are intriguing, and the hum of city traffic is barely even noticeable. It’s like being on a relaxing holiday, without a care in the world. Just you, your closest friends, a delicious spread of food, and a satisfying beverage to wash it all down.
Can you picture it? This is exactly how we spent a sunny winter’s day with GoBoat Melbourne.
A voyage with a difference, captaining our own cruise up and down the Yarra gave us a sense of calm and privacy in an otherwise bustling city. And it was just this, the calmness, that allowed us to truly take in Melbourne and all of its charm (something I had never really stopped to appreciate before, and something that was quite spectacular when viewed from the water).
Enjoying these ever-changing views as we lazily sipped on beverages, devoured our BYO picnic and giggled our way through the latest group goss, it was actually hard to believe this whole adventure wasn't part of some wonderful getaway.
Safe and easy to use, the time we spent on our self-skippered cruise was full of fun, laughter, hilarious selfies and memories that will last a lifetime. In other words, it had all of the ingredients needed for a successful event. And in combination with a few games, it's an experience that would be perfectly suited to celebrating your best friend's upcoming nuptials.
So whether you’re after a unique bridal shower, a relaxing start to hen party shenanigans, or even an excuse to catch up with friends whilst escaping reality for a few hours, I highly recommend looking into GoBoat Melbourne. And who knows, if you decide to play sea captain for the day I might just see you at the dock – as I can guarantee I will be back for more! Good to Know About GoBoat Melbourne
