Your day with us

From the moment you pull up to the moment you walk into Marvel — what game day actually looks like on the Bomber Boat.

  1. 1

    Pull up at Cafe Riviera

    55 Cumberland Drive, Maribyrnong. Plenty of free street parking on Cumberland and side streets. Aim for about an hour before bounce so there's no rush.

  2. 2

    Spot the Bomber Boat on the river

    You can't miss her — black hull, red trim, sash and crew already in the colours.

  3. 3

    Scan your QR boarding pass

    Staff tick you off in two seconds. No printed tickets, no queue. The QR comes in your booking confirmation email.

  4. 4

    Grab your free drink on arrival

    Beer, wine, soft drink — your call. Hot finger food keeps coming once you're on board.

  5. 5

    Cruise down the Maribyrnong

    Twenty-five minutes of riverside Melbourne, cheap bar prices the whole way, and a deck full of mates already in song.

  6. 6

    Walk into Marvel ready to roar

    A five-minute stroll from the dock to your seat. No Citylink. No parking fees. No Ubering home in a tunnel of brake lights.

  7. 7

    The boat waits for you

    Thirty minutes after the final siren we cast off back to Maribyrnong. Cash bar open the whole way home — win, lose or draw.
