Let customers speak for us
from 37 reviewsIf you’re looking for shared fishing charters near Melbourne, this is hands down one of the best options.
We booked a shared trip and loved the small group setup, no overcrowding, plenty of space, and a really relaxed vibe on board. The boat itself is big, comfortable, and nothing like the packed charters you sometimes see……
Theo and Jules were unreal. Super knowledgeable, easygoing, and you can tell they genuinely care about getting everyone onto fish. We moved around, stayed on the bite, and everyone had a proper go!!
All the gear was provided, everything ran smoothly, and having the fish cleaned at the end was a huge bonus.
If you’re based in Melbourne and want a proper day out on the water without the crowds, their shared fishing charters are 100% worth it.
We’ll definitely be back 🙌🏼🎣
Great crew and great time. Caught lots of fish.
I had a great time going offshore with Theo and Julz. They made sure we caught heaps of fish not wasting anytime if a spot wasn't producing results.
My son and I went out over the weekend and did a lot of catching. My son is neuro divergent and it was his first time on a boat. Theo and Jules were amazing with him and he isstillbuzzing from the experience. Book these guys!!
We have been out with Theo and his crew 3 times now, each time has been an amazing experience. He always goes above and beyond for everyone on board. Cant recommend Sorrento Fishing Charters enough!
We just did a kids charter with Theo and the crew. My two boys haven't stopped talking about it. It was a great day on the water. The fishing was one thing but the vibe on the boat was perfect. The kids were kept engaged all trip and learnt about the boat, the bay, and got to see seals and dolphins. Theo always had an answer for the weird and wonderful questions kids come up with, and shared his passion for what he does with them in a way that was perfect for the kids. Don't Worry Theo they still haven't told me your secret salmon spot!
The team at Sorrento fishing charters went above and beyond to ensure a wonderful farewell for our mum. The boat was spotlessly clean, a place set up with a tablecloth and container with sea sand to hold the urn and a speaker to play some music.
The team were caring and respectful, gave us privacy when necessary. A wonderful gesture were the cards with the coordinates of where we laid mum to rest . Highly recommend this crew.
Our farewell at sea was handled with incredible care, professionalism, and respect. From the moment we stepped onboard, everything felt calm, private, and thoughtfully organised. The crew created a peaceful atmosphere and gave us the space we needed, while quietly taking care of every detail.
Being able to say goodbye out on the water was deeply meaningful, and the experience was both comforting and beautiful. We couldn’t have asked for a more dignified way to farewell our loved one. Truly grateful for such a considerate and compassionate service, thank you Marine & Jules

Great quality. Great design. Great people. Thank you.
We had an amazing experience with Sorrento Fishing Charters on the Mornington Peninsula. We fished both Port Phillip Bay and the edge of Bass Strait, and even though the fishing was slow at the beginning, the crew went above and beyond to make it a great day.
The skipper and crew are expert, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable. They explained everything clearly, especially for the kids, and made sure everyone felt comfortable and confident. This is hands down one of the best kids charters you could book, very patient, fun, and professional.
When the fishing proved difficult early on, they generously stayed out an extra hour to give us the best chance, which really shows how much they care about their customers. In the end, we still caught a lot of fish, and the kids had an absolute blast.
If you’re looking for a fishing charter in Sorrento, Port Phillip Bay, or Bass Strait, this is the one. Highly recommend Sorrento Fishing Charters for families, kids, and anyone wanting a genuine, high-quality fishing experience on the Mornington Peninsula. 🎣

We had a great trip with Theo and his crew. The kids loved catching fish and squid. Great value for money and a great school holiday ctivity
When I asked around who to book for tuna fishing, everyone pointed me to sorrento fishing charters and they were spot on. Captain theo and his deckhand julz have serious skills. Watching them cast like pros and hook up two monster tuna was insane. They handed us the rods so we could feel the full fight, heart-pounding, intense, and unforgettable. The best part? They stayed right by our side, guiding us through the battle until the fish were on deck. We left with bags full of perfectly filleted tuna… and a very happy wife!
