Staff were very friendly and accommodating. The perfect addition to a day trip and to take in some of the sights of Queenstown. The floating bar moored next door is also the best spot for amazing cocktails with an incredible view.

We let Eddie know our feedback as we left the boat.

We had a private charter with Million Dollar Cruise in January, as a welcome event for our wedding guests. From the first emails we exchanged Betty was super helpful and the charter itself was fantastic! I am so glad we picked this as our welcome event activity as everyone really enjoyed themselves - from young kids through to adults. The cruise was such a great way to see a bit of Queenstown and for our guests to get to know each other before the wedding. I would definitely recommend Million Dollar Cruise as the charter was great, but the service and kindness of the staff made the experience even better. Thank you so much!
