    Fantastic day fishing at Westernport!

    4 Hour Trip (PM) on March 20, 2026 • 16 adults

    Bunch of deadly guys had a fantastic time bonding and indulging in their love for fishing. Some newbies got their first taste of fishing on a chartered boat! It was a fruitful day out on the water, with plenty of photos taken and every moment thoroughly enjoyed. A few of the guys had disabilities, but they had no trouble at all - the boat was cozy, spacious enough for fishing, and ensured their safety. Huge thanks to Captain Stuie & Lachie for providing them with an awesome fishing adventure!

    Great experience

    4 Hour Trip (AM) on May 2, 2026 • 5 adults

    We caught lots of Flathead and Mackeral. Captain and crew were friendly, very experienced and professional. Staff cooked a bbq for us, and there was tea and coffee available and conviently a toilet on board too. Directions to where the boat docks was easy to find with plenty of parking. Would highly recommend and book again.

    Disappointed

    4 Hour Trip (AM) on December 28, 2025 • 13 adults • 8 children

    Information and communication with Fishing Booker is so different from what you get from this operator. We only caught 4 small flathead that we could keep and few other fishes that we couldn’t due ti size and type of fish. Our expectation was a mixed fishes and more that we got according to the photos they advertised. When we complained the skipper (Stewie) blamed the kids not focusing and moving around too much. When we advised the kids to stay in one place we still didn’t catch any despite changing few fishing spots ( although in the close proximity). My friend asked about the use of fish finder sonar, the skipper said “ I use my brain”!!! When I asked him why our catch is so poor he attributed it to the wind despite it was a nice sunny day and no strong wind at all. His other excuse was the kids moving around. To me that was only excuses, trying to put the blame on his client is definitely not professional. I can see how defensive he gets with other reviews. I see others with other provider got far much better outcomes. This operator claims 25+ years of experience only to bring 4 small flathead home. I must also say that my communication was with another skipper by the name of (Robin), on the day I got (Stewie) with his assistant( Lochi). To his credit, though, the boat was well equipped, kids enjoyed the burger. But overall wasn’t a good value for money. You can get a better deal.

    Great team

    4 Hour Trip (PM) on February 26, 2024 • 1 adult

    Robin and Stewie were great. The fish weren’t really biting but they never stopped trying to find a spot. We ended up catching 4 King George Whiting. They were very personable and great fun. I’d recommend them.

Captain Robin is a skipper of the 50' boat. He's been a captain for 25 years. He loves watching people catch fish. Fishing demands a lot of thinking, planning and it involves a lot factors. No day is the same for Robin, and he enjoys the company of people who know how to have fun. Captain Lloyd is the skipper of the 38' vessel. He used to work as a deckhand for a long time before becoming a captain. He was a commercial fisherman in the past, spending a lot of time in the ocean. He's very skillful and an exceptional fisherman. He enjoys teaching people everything he knows about fishing, so he's great for customers who want to learn.
