What’s the Difference?

At Sorrento Fishing Charters, not all 4-hour trips are the same. While both get you out on the water, our Kids Fishing 4-Hour Trip and our Regular 4-Hour Fishing Charter are designed with very different goals in mind.

If you’re wondering which one is right for you (or your little fishos), here’s a simple breakdown.

🌈 Kids Fishing 4h Trip

Built for kids. Focused on fun. This trip is all about creating a positive first fishing experience. The pace is slower, the approach is relaxed, and the attention is 100% on the kids.

How we fish

✸ Target “fun fish” that keep kids engaged
✸ Squid fishing
✸ Light trolling for salmon
✸ Whiting and flathead
✸ Short drifts and regular action to avoid boredom

What we focus on

✸ Making sure every child feels included
✸ Teaching patience, basic techniques, and fish handling
✸ Building confidence on the water
✸ Keeping it light, fun, and pressure-free

This is not about numbers or big fish — it’s about smiles, laughs, and turning kids into confident little fishos.

Perfect for

✸ First-time anglers
✸ Younger kids
✸ Families wanting a relaxed, educational experience

🎣 Regular 4h Fishing Charter

A classic bay fishing session.

Our regular 4-hour charter is a standard bay fishing trip, suited to adults or families wanting a more traditional session.

How we fish

✸ Bay fishing in Port Phillip Bay
✸ Longer drifts
✸ More focus on technique

What to expect

✸ Less hands-on teaching for kids
✸ Faster pace
✸ More focus on fishing itself rather than entertainment

Great for

✸ Adults
✸ Older kids who already fish
✸ Groups wanting a short, classic fishing charter

So… Which One Should You Choose?

Choose the 🌈 Kids Fishing Trip if:

✸ Your kids are new to fishing
✸ You want them to have fun first, catch fish second
✸ Confidence and learning matter more than results

Choose the  🎣 Regular 4h Charter if:

✸ You’re happy with a standard bay fishing session
