Great day out on the water

Great day out on the water. Theo & Jules were awesome. Gear was all working properly. Hopefully next time we get out past the heads

Best Fishing Charter around Melbourne

I was looking around for the best fishing charters near Melbourne and came across Sorrento Fishing Charters. The Google reviews were unreal, so we decided to give it a go.

Other charters also had good reviews, but Sorrento Fishing Charters looked way more beginner and family friendly, which made the choice easy for us…

Absolutely no regrets, we had an absolute blast. Fishing was a bit tough on the day and the fish weren’t really hungry, but Captain Theo worked hard the whole session trying different spots and techniques to get us onto them. We still ended up going home with a solid bag of fish and a great experience overall.

Highly recommend if you’re after a proper day on the water without the overcrowded feel.

Had an awesome experience with Sorrento Fishing Charters

If 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 🙌🏼🎣
