Popeye is the name of several passenger boats that cruise Adelaide's River Torrens from Elder Park to the Zoo. The first Popeye was launched in 1935 and was so popular that three new boats were built between 1948 and 1950. The third fleet was launched in the early 1980s. These are the boats that are in service today. The boats run throughout the year, but only on weekends in the cooler months.
