Kids Fishing vs Regular 4-Hour Charter

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
• The group already understands basic fishing
• You want a classic charter experience
