Private New Year’s Eve boat sessions from Docklands.
New Year’s Eve boat hire operates differently from a normal summer session. Fireworks exclusion zones and temporary waterway closures can restrict Victoria Harbour and marina access, so book only the listed NYE product and timetable. Your confirmed route, departure time and return arrangements follow the current event notice, weather and operator directions.

Frequently asked questions
Is a fireworks view guaranteed? No. The view depends on the official fireworks locations, exclusion zones, weather, route restrictions and the boat’s permitted operating area.
Can we self-drive on New Year’s Eve? Aquadonut may be offered as a special self-drive event session, while selected Aquadonut sessions are skippered. Use the live NYE booking product for the available format, duration and price.
What is the New Year’s Eve exclusion zone? It is a temporary restricted area around event infrastructure such as fireworks barges. Boats must remain outside closed water and follow current Parks Victoria and operator directions.
Can we bring food and drinks? Follow the specific NYE product rules, including BYO and alcohol conditions. Optional extras should be booked before the event session.
Where do NYE sessions depart? The normal meeting point is Melbourne City Marina in Docklands. Access times and routes may change to comply with official marine and event directions.
