I just wanted to write a quick thank you note to say thanks for providing such a great yacht to take me to my wedding on the 30th of January. Everyone was very impressed, it was a fantastic way to arrive! Your relaxed nature was exactly what I needed and it was a very calm ride in. Thank you also (to you and your deck hands) for successfully getting all of us off the boat in one piece! We look forward to using VYC again in the future – maybe next time for a charter that is a bit longer. Alison & Dave

Why charter a yacht in Melbourne?

The months of December to February are the hottest and sunniest months, ensuring the best cruising conditions and outdoor recreational activities for your yacht charter itinerary. The months of June to August are the winter season in Melbourne and considered the off-season for charters due to cool temperatures and gloomy and grey skies.

Melbourne yacht charter for a day

Chartering a yacht for a full-day excursion on the Yarra Valley is a great way to escape Melbourne's hustle and bustle. It's the perfect option if you want to visit nearby islands, sights, or beaches without having to brave through the crowds or traffic. There are plenty of other options for full-day yacht charter itineraries in Melbourne.

You can choose to visit Phillip Island, which is 45 minutes away from Melbourne, and enjoy its vast array of things to do and attractions, including a full day at the A Maze N' Things Amusement Park, or the Phillip Island Wildlife Park. You can also visit the bay of St. Kilda Beach, where you can anchor and enjoy water sports activities in its waters but away from the crowds.

In the morning, get to enjoy breakfast on the deck as the yacht cruises over the bay before you get back to the marina.
