Freetime Adventure Charters 

Make an adventure out of your next trip in Melbourne and go fishing with Freetime Adventure Charters. Just a short ferry ride across to beautiful Portarlington.

Flathead, Gummy Shark, Pink Snapper, King George Whiting, Squid, and more inhabit these waters, depending on the time of year. You'll target your catch by light tackle fishing, trolling, drifting, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

Planning a family adventure? Kids are absolutely welcome! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. Feel free to bring your own snacks – lucky for you, there will already be some on board!

Your adventure begins aboard a 34' Randell cuddy cabin with room for 24 passengers. It comes with all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. What's more, this vessel is wheelchair accessible. Capt. Justin has rods and reels for you, along with lures. Live bait is available, but it's good to ask about this so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.

There will be qualified and experienced staff on board to help your trip run smoothly.

Before coming aboard, it will be required to buy a local fishing license for everyone in your group. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species might be protected or require a tag to keep them, so make sure you know what to expect.

It's never a bad idea to bring sunscreen (non-spray), and sunglasses. Drinks will be available for you. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but you should avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles. There will be some light snacks provided on board.
