90 minute cruise at 8.30 pm from Portarlington

Ring in the New Year in style with our special 8.30 pm New Year’s Eve Cruise from Portarlington. This one-off sailing is perfectly timed for the early fireworks display, hosted by Bellarine Bayside, on the Portarlington waterfront. Step aboard, relax with a drink in hand, and enjoy front-row views as we float just off the coastline, the best seat in the house when the fireworks light up the bay around 9.30 pm.

Please note: as this is a special event service, Kids Go Free tickets do not apply. However, we’ve created special family bundle discounts for a range of groups sizes.

Our modern ferries are designed with your comfort and convenience in mind, featuring easy boarding for wheelchairs, prams, and motorised scooters, as well as complimentary Wi-Fi, charging stations, and accessible facilities.
