You might have heard of and yearned for Tasmania’s toasty sauna boat experience. Well, it’s coming to Melbourne, and bringing plenty of relaxation to Docklands later this winter. In this floating sauna experience, you’ll get to warm up in a timber-lined sauna, then plunge into ice baths on the deck of a custom-built boat. Sauna Boat Melbourne is set to launch in mid-August.

This tranquil experience will be the second build from founder Daniel Bush, who designed and handcrafted the original boat in Tasmania, and this upcoming vessel in Melbourne.
“In the rush of everyday life, we often forget to slow down,” said Bush. “Sauna Boat Melbourne invites you to do just that – sweat, plunge, breathe. It’s wellness made simple, on the water, in the heart of it all.”
Find the boat floating in a quiet part of the harbour, just minutes away from the CBD. Experience hot and cold therapy by retreating into the warm sauna, then dipping into the ice baths. As you feel your troubles drift away, take in sweeping views of the surrounding water and the city skyline.
Sessions will be available for private groups or small shared bookings, so you’re welcome to come by yourself or with friends and loved ones.
Once it opens, Sauna Boat Melbourne will be available for visits all year round, so you can unwind and relax with the shifting seasons.
Stay updated on their journey via their website and on Instagram.
