Where We Fish

Fishing from Sorrento gives us access to some of the best fishing grounds near Melbourne:

  • Port Phillip Bay: Calm, protected waters — perfect for all levels.

  • The Rip / Heads: Where the bay meets the ocean. Strong currents, structure, and serious fish life. This is where things get interesting

  • Bass Strait: Out past the Heads into deeper water. This is proper offshore fishing — bigger ground, bigger fish.

"If you’re even thinking about booking a fishing charter in Sorrento, stop thinking and just do it. This crew is next level.

From the very first message, the communication with Marine (one of the owners) was honestly elite. Clear, fast, friendly, and reassuring, the kind of communication that immediately makes you think, “Yep, we’re in very good hands.” Zero stress, zero confusion, just smooth sailing!

Out on the water, Theo the other owner is as cool as they come. Calm, knowledgeable, and clearly living his best life on the ocean. You feel confident the second you meet him, which is handy when you’re holding a fishing rod and hoping not to embarrass yourself.
They think of everything including the fact I was absolutely freezing and provided me a jacket! Which was an absolute lifesaver.

Huge shout-out to Jules as well, absolute legend. So helpful, patient, and happy to jump in with tips, baiting hooks, encouragement, and laughs.

The whole crew genuinely love what they do, and it shows. Great vibes, great banter, well-run boat, and a cracking day out on the water. We laughed, we learned, we caught fish. What more could you want?

Highly recommend to beginners, seasoned fishos, and anyone who wants a memorable day with an awesome team. We’ll 100% be back!"  Julia
