Our Boat and Skipper
The Skipper
Chris is a qualified charter operator with 15 years experience in the industry and has fished extensively in Port Phillip Bay, Bass Strait and Portland. His knowledge of these areas has been gained through hands-on experience by being out on the water almost every day of the year. Chris’s fresh approach and experience make for a fishing trip long to be remembered.
His passion for fishing is evident in his enthusiasm in providing the best possible fishing experience for his customers and using the best bait, tackle, lures and rods that he himself has tested.
POSEIDON
Our new boat Poseidon is an 10.5m Custom Plate. Custom designed and built for maximum fish-ability, comfort and speed. Poseidon is powered by twin Suzuki 300hp engines.
Layout
Poseidon has an operating limit of 30 nautical miles from the Victorian coast.Poseidon is a treat to fish from and with her wide 3.5m beam she is very stable at rest. Comfortable cruising speed of 22 knots and a top speed of 35 knots, allowing us to reach our destination in comfort and within reasonable time. Poseidon is equipped with hidden rod holders in the fishing positions and a rocket launcher holds 12 rods over head.
