Short Summer Scenic Cruises

Portarlington 90 mins  |  Geelong 60 mins

Kids Go Free*  |  Pre-booked online tickets only 

Holidaying in Portarlington or Geelong this summer and looking for something different to entertain the family? Step aboard our state-of-the-art 35-metre catamaran and take in the region’s stunning coastline from a new perspective.

Portarlington Cruises (90 minutes)  |  2 departure times

Explore the stunning coastline and calm waters off Portarlington with two departures most days at 2.00 pm and 5.30 pm (schedule below). It’s the perfect way to spend a relaxing afternoon on the bay or enjoy a golden-hour cruise before dinner.

Happy Hour: All 5.30 pm sailings have a Special Happy Hour at the onboard bar, ideal for sundowner drinks or a pre-dinner tipple before you fire up the barbecue.

Geelong Cruises (60 minutes)

Departing regularly from the Geelong Waterfront, this one-hour cruise offers a refreshing way to take in the city’s sights from the water, with plenty of time to unwind and soak up the coastal views (see schedule below).

Special New Year’s Eve 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 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.

Whichever you choose, there’s time to relax and enjoy a few sneaky beverages from our licensed café along the way.

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.
