Melbourne's Docklands will welcome the brand new floating sauna this mid-August.
Melbourne residents will soon experience Tasmania’s floating sauna sensation in Docklands waters this August with Sauna Boat Melbourne coming to town.
The custom built vessel brings hot and cold therapy directly to Docklands waters.
Sauna Boat offers an intimate waterfront wellness experience in the heart of Melbourne. Guests can warm themselves in the onboard sauna before plunging into deck-mounted ice baths. The experience provides uninterrupted water and city views from the Docklands location.
The original Sauna Boat operates from Kettering’s Oyster Cove Marina in Tasmania. This coastal location sits opposite Bruny Island in pristine waters. The Tasmanian version caters to intimate groups seeking warmth and refreshment.

Melbourne’s version mirrors the Tasmanian concept of mixing sauna heat with cold water immersion. Users enjoy purpose-built facilities on a dedicated vessel.
The sauna boat concept transforms traditional wellness practices into a unique waterfront experience. Guests move seamlessly between heated sauna sessions and refreshing ice bath plunges. The Docklands setting provides both convenience with a harbour atmosphere.
Tasmania’s original Sauna Boat established the template for this wellness innovation. The southern state’s pristine coastal waters created ideal conditions for the hot-cold therapy combination. Melbourne’s adaptation brings this experience to urban waters.
The custom built vessel ensures proper facilities for the wellness experience. Deck-mounted ice baths provide immediate cold therapy after sauna sessions. The design prioritises safety while maintaining the authentic experience, a win-win.
The floating sauna represents a new approach to urban relaxation. City dwellers can now access Tasmania-inspired wellness without leaving Melbourne.
