Let the city become the backdrop as you settle into a private gathering on Port Phillip.
Port Phillip brings open water to a Melbourne occasion. Enjoy the bay from the deck, share a meal and spend a few hours together beyond the usual city table.
Keep the day near Melbourne or explore a longer outing towards the Mornington Peninsula. They are different plans, with the departure, time aboard and bay conditions shaping the route.
An occasion with a bay view.
Start with the kind of gathering you want to host, then give it room on the water.
Bring everyone together
A birthday, anniversary or catch-up with friends can unfold across the deck and saloon. Look for spaces where the whole group can gather and smaller corners for conversation.
Along the bayside coast
Brighton's coloured beach boxes sit beside the sand and the bay. Make room to enjoy the shoreline from the water, with time to come back together on deck.
Find your Melbourne setting.
Explore the spaces aboard, from dining tables to sheltered decks. Keep Melbourne and your dates at the centre as you begin.
A few practical details.
Start with your people and dates. The finer details can take shape from there.
- Keep Melbourne as the starting point
- Keep Melbourne as the location in your first enquiry. The area where guests will gather and the actual boarding point can be discussed in the follow-up, before organising accommodation or transfers.
- Choose comfortable spaces for the occasion
- For a meal or event, look at indoor seating and shelter as well as the deck. Share catering needs, access considerations and any fixed timings so the whole group can enjoy the occasion.
- Let dates and route guide the yacht choice
- Yachts can move between regions. Your date window helps establish which yacht and departure can work, including any relocation needed for the proposed route.
Your time aboard
Start with the hours you want for a private event. A bay day or nights aboard needs a separate yacht and route plan.
The whole charter cost
Request a Melbourne quote for the complete occasion or trip. The yacht's location, minimum hire, route and service can matter as much as the hours aboard; a rate from another city is not a reliable local budget.
Understand charter costs- Yacht and departure
- Confirm the charter period and whether the yacht needs to relocate for a Melbourne start, with any associated charges included.
- The event arrangement
- Compare catering, drinks, staff, guest count and the seating format. Ask about date surcharges and what happens if the event runs longer.
- Cruising and overnight use
- For a bay route or nights aboard, include fuel, provisioning, berths and crew arrangements, plus the agreed start and finish points.

Can Course & Cove help with a Melbourne yacht charter request?
Yes. Start with Melbourne, your preferred dates, guest count and time aboard. The occasion, yacht and departure arrangements can be explored in the follow-up.
Can we plan a private celebration on a yacht in Melbourne?
A private celebration is a useful request to explore around your date and group. Include whether you want a seated meal or a more informal gathering. The yacht's local plans, event capacity and service will determine the options.
Can a Melbourne charter reach the Mornington Peninsula?
Include the peninsula in your route request if it matters to the trip. The departure, yacht, time available and bay conditions determine whether it is practical. It may make more sense to explore a departure nearer the intended route.
Are yachts based in Melbourne all year?
Charter yachts can move between regions. Start with your actual dates so the yacht's schedule and any relocation can be considered together. That gives you a clearer departure plan and cost before arranging the rest of the occasion.
