Rip Charters
Sorrento | Est 1986
Planning a Bucks event for a groom and his mates? Try something a little more adventurous for the next Bucks party with a Fishing Charter for your Buck and his buddies. Get Hooked and head out into Port Phillip Heads for an adventure on board our 42ft Randall Fly-Bridge Sportsfisher, Big Blue! Let us take your group for a fun day out on the water and prepare yourself for the challenge as you try to catch Big Snapper, Salmon, Bass Strait Flathead and more!
We offer 4Hr and 5Hr private charters chilling out and chasing a good catch of fish and loads of laughs.
4 Hour:
$1800 – 12 Passengers – extra passengers $150 per head to max 16
5 Hour:
$2160 – 12 Passengers – extra passengers $180 per head to max 16
Some key notes regarding alcohol, alcoholic consumption and behavior:
• Rip Charters and its vessels subscribe to responsible drinking and if a passenger attempts to board the boat and the skipper deems them already intoxicated, they will be refused entry to the vessel.
• Being on a boat is not a license to get outrageously drunk. As with licensed venues (like pubs and hotels), intoxicated passengers will not be tolerated and may cause a charter to be terminated without refund.
• Beer is permitted in cans, 2/3 cans per person over 5hrs is acceptable.
• No bottles of clear spirits will be allowed onboard (ie tequila, vodka, gin, whisky etc) and definitely no shooters.
• Drinking water is required on all boat charters (at least one bottle per person).
• Ice boxes are provided on all vessels, so you don’t need to bring any eskys with you. However, you will need to bring your own bags of ice to keep your drinks cool.
• Treat our boats like you’d treat your own house. Keep it clean!
• Rubbish bins and bin liners are provided on our boat. Please use them! Boat crew will dispose of empty containers at the end of the cruise, but if you leave a mess on the boat, you will be charged for the clean up afterwards.
We can also help with suggestions for accommodation if you are looking to book and stay before or after the trip.
Charters depart from Sorrento or Queenscliff, with all rods, reels, bait and tackle supplied and tea and coffee on board.
Expect to chase snapper, salmon and Bass Strait flathead, with the crew helping the whole way, whether your mates are seasoned anglers or have never held a rod. We keep things relaxed but responsible: a few cold cans are fine, but no spirits or shooters, and the skipper can refuse boarding to anyone already intoxicated.
Bring plenty of water and your own ice, and check the full alcohol policy below before the big day.
Planning a weekend of it? We can suggest accommodation in Portsea, Sorrento and Rye, plus plenty to do on the Peninsula after the fishing.
