Bass Strait ~ Port Phillip Bay Fishing Charters
Let customers speak for us
from 22 reviewsI’ve jumped on a few charters round the peninsula they were alright but nothing flash. Sorrento fishing charters is a whole different story. Theo’s a legend, knows his stuff, and he’s out there to get you onto the fish. No muckin’ about, proper good vibes and a cracking day out!!!
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!
If you want a true tuna fishing adventure on the Mornington Peninsula, these are the guys to go with!!!
We booked a private fishing charter unfortunately the weather turned bad, so the crew rescheduled us to make sure we could enjoy the trip properly. The next weekend the weather was even worse, not their fault, and instead of pushing us out in rough conditions, they offered a full refund.
I’m leaving a review because that level of honesty is rare. These guys genuinely care about giving people the best experience, even if it means losing money. You can tell they put customers first, and that’s why I’ll be booking with them again!
What a friendly, caring crew! This is another level of kids’ fishing charter. Captain Theo has something special, he’s so patient and gentle with the little ones, teaching them the beauty of the sea in a way that really sticks!! My kids haven’t stopped talking about it since and are already begging me to book another trip.
The boat itself is super clean, spacious, and very safe. The gear is all pro, but it’s the crew that makes the experience unforgettable. They bring the perfect mix of fun, learning, and ocean adventure. If you’re looking for a kids fishing charter on the Mornington Peninsula, this is the one! Marine even sent me some amazing pictures of my kids fishing, such a thoughtful touch that made the day even more special. Thank you thank you, Georgia
Best private charter we’ve ever booked! The deck was absolutely firing and we landed some cracking big snapper. Captain Theo and the crew knew exactly where to take us, made everything easy with the rods and bait, and kept the vibe relaxed but super professional. Perfect day out on Port Phillip Bay honestly can’t wait to book again! Thank you guys!
We took our two children (6 and 9 years old) out on the Kids Shared Charter from Sorrento Fishing Charters and it was hands down one of the best family fishing experiences on the Mornington Peninsula. Captain Theo and the crew made everything super fun and relaxed, perfect for kids who’ve never fished before AND for those who already love it.
From the moment we boarded at Sorrento Pier, the boat was clean and well-equipped, the rods, reels and tackle were perfect for little hands, and the crew made sure everyone felt safe out on Bass Strait & Port Phillip Bay. We spotted dolphins and seals, the kids got to cast lines, and even with the cold wind, the warm layers, sunscreen, and snacks we brought made the 4-hour trip comfortable.
What stood out most was how much attention the crew paid to the kids: helping them with bait, showing them how to reel in a fish, celebrating their catches. By the end of the charter, their little hearts were full of fishy fun. We caught flathead, snapper, and even a small surprise fish that thrilled them to bits.
If you’re looking for a kids fishing charter near Melbourne or the Mornington Peninsula, this is the one to pick. It’s affordable ($140 pp), great value, and offers a safe, memorable way to introduce your kids to fishing, ocean life, boat trips, and more. We’ll absolutely be doing it again. Highly recommended!!
Hands down the best fishing charter I’ve been on around the Mornington Peninsula!!We headed out from Sorrento into Port Phillip Bay and Bass Strait the boat was solid and the crew were legends, really friendly and helpful. Everyone was onto fish, we caught snapper, flathead and a couple of big ones that made the day….. If you’re after a fun trip with a crew that knows where the fish are biting, this is the one.!
Highly skilled captain to get us safely embark in tricky Port Phillip bay conditions. Take us through the channel into beautiful fishing grounds of Barwon heads. Caught some big snapper. Helpfull and knowledgeable deckhand.
Just a great day!
Totally professional in helping navigate
Gate the website and booking.
Thank you.
Fantastic Day with Sorrento Fishing Charter!
Had an amazing experience with Sorrento Fishing Charter! Captain Theo was a super lovely guy—very welcoming, knowledgeable, and knew exactly where to find the best fishing spots. We caught heaps throughout the day, making it an unforgettable trip. Can’t wait to go back again! Highly recommend for anyone looking for a great day out on the water.
My son and I joined Theo and the crew on a Bay fishing adventure and it delivered what was promised. We had a greta day fishing, with lots of fish. Theo was extremely accomodating and welcoming, he did his outmost to look for fish and make sure everybody onboard was happy with their catch. The boat was clean and vey spacious for the ten people onboard. I would highly recommend the charter and we will be back to book for a deep sea excursion. Thank Theo.
I joined Captain Theo, Marina and the crew on Sunday 2/2 for a deep sea fishing adventure.
I have always been a lover of the ocean but no boat to take out into the blue. SORRENTO FISHING CHARTERS gives you this opportunity to follow your passion in fishing
In awe of the Ocean I sailed aboard the Timaru to fulfil my mission. I CAUGHT 3 FISH !! my first SNAPPER, A Sweep and a Barracuda.. we all caught fish that day as Captain Theo picked great spots in Bass straight ...next mission to catch a tuna. . I was super exited and thrilled with the trip. I highly recommend everyone come along with the kids and live the Big blue fishing dream. I will definately be beck for more, after all there are plenty of fish in the sea.
Best fishing charter i have been on, and best fishing experience. Theo has it on lock with his helping hand scotty made the experience enjoyable and their knowledge for the sea is 2nd to none.
I took my two boys (aged 7 and 8) for their first fishing adventure and they haven’t stopped talking about it. They were thrilled to catch flathead, salmon and even hooked a banjo shark! On top of the fishing we saw a pod of dolphins and visited the seals. Couldn’t recommend Theo and Marine highly enough. We will be back.
Captain Theo, Marine and Jack made it a great day on the bay! We all saw dolphins and seals aswell as catching plenty of salmon and flatheads!
