Peninsula fishing charters, compared

I'm Hooked Fishing Charters

Licence covered

Skipper Mal and a 2024 24-foot Devil Cat catamaran out of multiple Peninsula ramps. Calendar built around the Oct to Dec snapper run; mixed-bag sessions through the rest of the year. Wheelchair-accessible vessel, family-friendly without sacrificing the technical fishing. Licence covered for the day.

Proline Charters

Operating from Berth 1 at Sorrento Pier since 1991. The two vessels (60-foot Due South and 41-foot Strait Shooter) are the largest fishing-charter platforms in Victoria. Standard product is a five-hour bay session for snapper, whiting, and squid. The differentiator is what becomes possible at scale: 15 to 20 passenger groups, Bass Strait shark expeditions, multi-day King Island and Portland tuna runs.

Reel Time Fishing Charters

Operating since 2004 with two trailer boats (8 passenger and 10 passenger) capable of running simultaneously across multiple Peninsula ramps. Lower per-person price band than the larger purpose-built charters. Suits mid-size groups of 11 to 18 who want everyone on the water at the same session time without booking a 60-foot vessel.

Western Port Fishing Charters

Captain Robin Gray's 50-foot Westcoaster flybridge out of Westernport Marina, Hastings. Western Port-exclusive operation: tidal channels, estuary margins, the species mix that Port Phillip Bay operators do not consistently target. Capacity for 20, the largest charter platform serving Western Port. Wheelchair accessible.
