Drive down to Portland and come out on the boat with some mates or join another group if there's room. We'll run the boat now, until the season winds down around August/September. Forget the options at Apollo Bay, Warrnambool and Port Fairy. Less time is spend getting to the mark, and more time trolling.

Definitely worth the extra drive time. Weekends and holidays always fill out quickly so it's always best to book ahead as much as possible. Call us via the phone number on the website for the most up-to-date booking availability. Monday's and Fridays are the next most popular days. Best value days are Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.

Charter Details

Report

We fish out of Portland which is one of Victoria's oldest towns located 5 hours drive West from Melbourne. We fish from here because it's one of the closest entry points to the sea from the continental shelf. The Bluefin are a deep water fish and tend to stick near where this shelf runs along the southern coast of Australia.

Cost

Report

Offshore charters this distance from the mainland require a fully qualified local skipper on board (Med 3 and Master 5). We sometimes have a few spaces spare and if we do you can get an even better rate. Call us to check availability for the dates you want to fish. Joining other groups can be a great experience and meeting new friends who are just as nuts about fishing as you are is what life is all about.

The Fish

Report

The species of Bluefin Tuna we fish for is the southern Blue Fin Tuna (Thunnus Maccoyii) and it is a part of the Scombridae family. The Northern Bluefin Tuna (Thunnus Thynnus) is a close relative but only sticks to the Atlantic region. Thunnus Maccoyii shouldn't be confused with the Albacore Tuna (Thunnus Alalunga) which has a narrower head and much longer dorsal fin.
