Clear your calendars and prep your sea legs — the 2025 Mayday Cruise is officially on deck, and it's shaping up to be the feel-good event of the season.
Setting sail from Sorrento Pier on Saturday 17 May, this four-hour floating gala isn’t just an excuse to sip drinks and soak up those stunning Mornington Peninsula views (though it’s definitely that, too). It’s also about giving back to the incredible local legends who make the Peninsula such a vibrant place to live.
Mayday Cruise is proudly raising funds to support 11 community organisations across the Mornington Peninsula — one from each Ward within the Mornington Peninsula Shire — each making a real difference in the lives of local people. So yes, it’s a great night out, but it’s also a chance to give back, coast to coast.

As you cruise from Sorrento to Dromana and back under the autumn sky, you’ll be treated to live music from none other than Yacht Rock Revival — an 8-piece band that’s all about smooth grooves, throwback singalongs, and big brass energy. Whether you’re dancing on deck or vibing with a vino in hand, the soundtrack for the night is sorted.
And the food? Executive Chef Michael Jaques of TARRA Queenscliff is bringing the goods with a dreamy spread of coastal canapés and grazing dishes — think local flavours, fresh ingredients, and major sunset picnic energy (but fancy).
It’s the best kind of night out: a little boujee, a little breezy, and totally worthwhile.
Tickets are on sale now, and this one will sell fast. So grab your mates, dress for the deck, and get ready for a night of music, magic, and making a real difference — all while cruising one of Victoria’s most beautiful coastlines.
