BOATS AND FERRIES
Travel by boat in Melbourne and Victoria, for a fresh perspective.
In Melbourne, many vessels cruise up and down the Yarra River. Regular ferry services operate cross the bay in summer, from Southbank and St Kilda to Williamstown.
To get around on the Yarra, jump on the Yarra River Shuttle, which will take you from Federation Square all the way around to NewQuay at Docklands. The journey is particularly pretty at dusk.
A regular car and passenger ferry links Sorrento on the Mornington Peninsula to Queenscliff on the Bellarine Peninsula. From Sorrento, ferries depart every hour on the hour from 7am to 6pm, with an extra 7pm trip from 26 December through summer. For information on ticket prices and bookings, call 03 5258 3244 or visit the website. There is also a ferry service between Phillip Island and French Island.
For information on ferry services from Melbourne to Tasmania, visit the Spirit of Tasmania website.
