Step aboard Westernport Charter Trips, a beautifully restored 1988 Westcoaster 50 Cruiser (refitted in 2024) based in Melbourne, and experience the perfect blend of comfort, tradition, and adventure.
Warneet is a small Western Port gateway with big-water possibilities, and Warneet boating charters make the most of its unique setting. Sheltered by extensive mangroves and mudflats, the twin North and South Jetties create an easy jump-off point for exploring tidal creeks and broad channels that wind toward French Island and the open bay. Staging from the local boat ramp and jetties keeps you close to productive grounds while offering calm berths to embark and return.
Out on the water, Western Port’s famous tidal flow concentrates bait and draws popular targets like King George whiting, squid, gummy shark, and seasonal snapper. Local skippers time departures around the tides and navigate well-marked routes such as Tooradin and Gentle Annie channels, putting you quickly onto bank edges and weed beds that hold fish. Between sessions, you’ll cruise past mangrove-fringed shorelines and sandbanks alive with birdlife—part of a wider mosaic of wetlands and marine parks that make this corner of Victoria special.
Choose Warneet boating charters if you want close-to-Melbourne access with a wild, estuarine feel. From quick family-friendly outings to longer explorations across Western Port, this launch spot offers a practical base, reliable facilities, and direct access to diverse habitats. Whether you’re chasing a feed of whiting, drifting for squid, or simply soaking up the scenery among jetties and mangroves, Warneet delivers a classic Western Port experience.
