About Us

Our small, family-owned business based in the historic town of Mannum, is redefining chartered river cruising by creating a series of authentic, nature-based boutique cruises along South Australia's Murray River, for groups as small as 8 or as big as 40.

These aren’t the kinds of cruises you need to pack your bags. They’re short and sweet, the perfect snack-sized river cruise to sneak in the must-see highlights of the river during daylight hours. Plus, the kids can come too – it’s an experience all-ages can enjoy!

Onboard our two vessels, the M.V. Jester and the M.V. Dragonfly, you’ll be in good hands with your skipper, Chad and his expert crew.

“We had a lovely afternoon cruising for a hens party. We enjoyed an incredible grazing board/hot finger food all provided by Four Knots. Nothing was too much trouble for Chad/staff, they made us all feel welcomed and relaxed. Can definitely recommend Four Knots for a special event! Thank you again Chad, Sally and team for a great afternoon.”

“Great choice for my intergenerational 60th birthday celebration just last week. The adult children, grandchildren and now ‘us seniors’ enjoyed a very informative and pleasant evening on the river. We will continue to recommend Chad and Four Knots Murray River Cruises. You can’t go wrong.”
