In a bold and steamy twist on wellness, Melbourne is getting its very own floating sauna experience. Launching in August 2025 at Docklands, Sauna Boat Melbourne promises to combine hot and cold therapy with breathtaking views of the city skyline—all from the deck of a custom-built vessel.
Dreamed up by wellness entrepreneur Daniel Bush, who previously brought a similar concept to Tasmania, the sauna boat invites guests to “sweat, plunge, breathe” in a serene environment designed for relaxation and rejuvenation.
The experience includes time in a beautifully crafted timber sauna followed by an invigorating ice bath, offering a full contrast therapy session with the peaceful hum of the harbour as a backdrop.
Sessions will be available for individuals, small groups, or private bookings, making it ideal for everything from quiet reflection to social self-care. Designed to operate year-round, the boat will cater to Melbourne’s love of unique outdoor experiences—rain, shine or chill.
With pre-bookings already open and a growing waitlist, Sauna Boat Melbourne is shaping up to be one of the city’s most talked-about wellness attractions of 2025. To find out more or reserve your spot, head to saunaboatmelbourne.com.au.
