Sharkmen Charters

Fishing charter

👍👍 Great morning with Marco and Luke. Took my 10yr old son and they made him feel welcome and even helped him land a squid along with many fish (even if most went back..). He is still smiling. I really enjoyed it. The boat was fully booked but plenty of room, great gear and knowledge. Highly recommend...

    Great morning with Marco and Luke. Took my 10yr old son and they made him feel welcome and even helped him land a squid along with many fish (even if most went back..). He is still smiling. I really enjoyed it. The boat was fully booked but plenty of room, great gear and knowledge. Highly recommend these guys. BTW I never knew calamari could taste that good.

    Great people. Friendly as and would recommend you give these guys a go if your planning a charter. They know their stuff and we managed to score a few biggies for the plate. Great stuff

    I had a fantastic day with my son on Westernport. This was the first whiting charter I've done with Sharkmen. I had a pretty good level of confidence as I've been out with them before. It was a great experience. The level of local knowledge, professionalism and friendliness was terrific! We ended up catching a lot of fish! Between the 8 people fishing we caught over 80 whiting!! How good is that! That's a very decent feed for my friends and family. Big shout out to skipper Dimma, I hadn't fished with him before, he did a great job. Highly impressed with this outfit! Strongly recommended!

    Thank you Marco for the wonderful fishing trip this morning. My brother (age 80) and I (age 73), who haven't fished together since we were little kids, had such a good time. You and your crew and the other fishermen were so encouraging and positive, we have great memories of that big tuna that we couldn't get in but were finally helped by a much fitter, younger bloke. Thanks again.

    Got a birthday present from my family to go out for tuna. All I can say it was the best birthday present and thankyou to both Marco and Luke for an awesome day out. From reeling in the first fish to witnessing all rods on deck bending at the same time and topping it by bagging out, it was a great day. Thanks again Mario.

    My son and I had a fantastic day fishing with Sharkmen charters. Its our second trip with them. The team are professional and they make sure everyone catches a fish. They are fun and friendly and we can’t wait to go out with them again.

    Fantastic charter on Sharkmen 2. Great bunch of punters and a terrific Skipper. A bag full of beautiful sized Big Reds (not the soup) of course

    It was an amazing day for my father with Marco and his team (Thanks again)!!! My father had an incredible experience fishing Tuna on his first trip in Mel. Marco and his team were very professional, friendly, and helpful. Neither fishing experience nor a language barrier are a problem. My father and I look forward to fishing with Marco again! High recommend! :)

  • 5/5 Matthew H. 11 months ago on Google
    An absolutely amazing day out. Marco and his team did a great job, they put in 110%. Clearly an experienced skipper from his boat control in the swell. Both of the deckhands sorry I can't remember your names were flat out all the trip. We got some really nice bluefin tuna, can't wait for the sashimi.

    A big thanks to Marko and deckhand Goldie for a great day Tuna Fishing. Marko has a big clean sheltered charter boat, and is both experienced and professional with all the good gear. Goldie was engaging and worked tirelessly rigging us up and doing his stuff when the fish landed into the boat. We met our daily quota and enjoyed our time with whales, dolphins, seals and birdlife. Our families will be well fed for next two weeks. We give our experience 5 stars.

    Went on the Sharkemen charter in Portland yesterday chasing Bluefin for my Dad's 60th. Dad landed the first one for the day which was his first bluefin. 10 mins later I reeled in my first ever tuna which was a great experience. Skipper Marco and Deckie Goldy are great blokes. Very on top of things and very good at what they do. Full of knowledge. Great to have a yarn to between reeling in some Tuna. Will definitely be going out on a Sharkmen charter again sometime. Thanks for a great day Fellas.

    Hi Marko, Thanks again for your acceptance and guidance on what can only be described as an outrageously successful fishing charter. Your decision to head out wide and deep was an absolute winner. To bag out and have everyone go home with fish and smiles galore is a fitting tribute to your skill and knowledge. I’ll happily fish with you again Cheers, Damian M

  • 5/5 TJ B. 10 months ago on Google
    Fantastic Trip! The weather was average but the Skipper kept us through the bust ups despite the rolling waves and Goldy keep the equipment and advice spot on resulting in everyone bagging out over a few hours. Cant complain about anything and will def book again. Cheers.

    It’s a lovely fishing experience with the captain marco. Both captain and deckie show high professionalism which make the whole experience fun and unforgettable. Thank you and we will see u guys again on next fishing adventure.

  • 5/5 vicki c. 1 year ago on Google
    Incredible experience, Skipper Marco and deckie Goldie were so friendly, experienced, handling the challenging conditions easily, confidently took us straight onto the tuna we all bagged out and even returned 3! Two triple hook ups were handled quickly and expertly, we didn't loose 1 fish. Also want to mention how expertly the fish were dispatched and cleaned. Huge respect shown to the fish and eating quality. Thank you so much for giving us a great day.

    The weather turned but our Skipper worked hard for success. There are few things better than fresh caught Snapper & an easy meal to prepare. Thanks Sharkmen.

  • 5/5 JP K. 7 months ago on Google
    These guys are exceptional! I’ve been on a lot of charters over the years and these guys are among the best. They know how to get the fish but they’re also just great people to hang out with for the day - we spent the day with Luke and he was a legend!

  • 5/5 Patrick H. 6 months ago on Google
    One of the best Father’s Day gifts from my 12y boy!!! I caught 3 snappers and my boy caught 8 and the biggest barrel for the day😅 The boat has lots of room, and the crew were so good finding the special spots, and very helpful bringing in the fish when needed. Thanks to Sharkman for a memorable experience🦈

    We booked the Sharkmen fishing charter as a social event for work and we all bloody loved it! We rated the experience as 5/5 stars, the guys on the boat were friendly and knowledgable. There was a group of of 6 of us, and we caught an absolute haul. Great experience. Regards, Charlie and Team

    I took a bunch of guys out with Sharkmen on the weekend. Couldn't be happier. It was a mixture of experienced fishermen and essentially first timers and everyone had a great day; some experienced fellas described it as the best day they'd ever had on the bay. Our Skipper Luke was a legend. Good gear, good bait, good boat, good experienced skipper, good spots = awesome experience. Sharkmen came highly recommended from others in the know, and I wouldn't bother calling other mobs for future days out. You know you've gone with the correct charter when you're back at the ramp struggling to co-ordinate getting all of your catch into eskies and other punters are getting off other charters empty handed, asking who you went out with. Cheers to all involved!

    Rosebud RSL fishing club Sunday 19th Nov, awesome charter, great boat, Marco and Goldie did a great job and had us on the fish straight away. Nice fresh bait, top gear couldn't be better. Thanks guys.

    Great experience, great day, great team, great crew. Thank you Robert and the crew for your great support and assistance through out the fish hunting expedition. Guys! You should try this experience with Robert and the crew. They are funny to the bone and supportive. Get to the Pm fishing and enjoy the great sunset as you enjoy what you like doing in the middle of pacific ocean.

    Went hunting whiting and they delivered. Good bunch of blokes too, was like fishing with mates.

  • 5/5 Jarred A. 3 years ago on Google
    Really good charter, the skipper and crew worked hard to make sure we all got a go at a tuna. They are super relaxed and easy to get on with. Definitely makes for a enjoyable worthwhile day. Would highly recommend them.

  • 5/5 Ken & D. 3 years ago on Google
    We booked the boat for two days tuna fishing in Portland and it was a fantastic experience. Great boat and crew. Highly recommend the Sharkmen team. Many thanks to Marco, Luke and young Ryan

  • 5/5 Xavier E. 3 years ago on Google
    Marco and his crew took my Dad and I out fishing. We caught heaps of bluefin tuna and had a great day. Recommend them to anyone looking for a fishing charter out from Portland or Melbourne. Thanks Marco !

  • 5/5 Ari S. 3 years ago on Google
    Great Day Sharkmen! Marco pushed hard to find the fish in trying conditions and gave us extra time when the hot bite was on, not many charters would have done that.The group had a great experience overall. I'll be back!

  • 5/5 Theo S. 1 year ago on Google
    BRILLIANT Skipper and Deckhand. Both Marco and Luke were extremely pleasant. I have been fishing tuna for 14 years and this has to be the best crew that I have gone out with. Sharkmen are so easy and at the same time passionate at what they do, it shows. We pulled out 20 Blue Fin tunas at Portland and all the boys were thrilled. Top boat (12m), Top Skipper and top Deckhand. You can't ask for more. HIGHLY recommend Sharkmen. We will definitely use them again FOR SURE! God bless you guys. Theo- Templestowe

  • 5/5 Thomas K. 2 years ago on Google
    Had these lads take us out in early Dec. Marco was quick to respond in the lead-up with all my questions. Day-of, Marco and Ryan arrived before time, ready to go. Quick drive out and we were on within minutes. Bagged out on snapper and caught some flatty's too. Whole boat had a blast - highly recommend.

  • 5/5 Blake T. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing experience and caught lots of fish! Goldy and Nicky were great hosts and extremely knowledgeable and made it very easy for a few of us that hadn't been fishing in a while. Would highly recommend to anyone thinking about going. Looking forward to our next one catching some Tuna!

  • 5/5 Daniel D. 1 year ago on Google
    I’ve been a lots of fishing charter and have never had so much fun, you guys are next level. Dima was very friendly, greeted us on arrival, helped with fishing tips and has a great fun attitude, nothing was a drama for him on the day. I will definitely be back! I’m keen to try the king George whiting in Jan.

  • 5/5 Matt J. 1 year ago on Google
    Had an absolute ball with Marco and Luke from Sharkmen Fishing Charters. The boys put us onto the fish despite them being out wide. Comfortable boat too, plenty of space to get out of the elements and chill. Would absolutely recommend if you’re after a bag out on bluefin.

  • 5/5 Mark C. 1 year ago on Google
    Ripper day on the water with Marco & Luke. Very professional outfit. Plenty of Tuna caught, Marco put us on the right spots at the right time. Awesome day. Thanks guys - Go Saints 😀

    European Marble Centre used Sharkmen Fishing Charters for a corporate event. It was a great experience for the guys. They took the 10:30am fishing charter and had a great day out. Would highly recommend and we will be back :)

  • 5/5 Emily G. 1 year ago on Google
    Awesome day with awesome people. Great day fishing with Sharkmen Fishing Charters. Highly recommend anyone booking a session. The crew are really friendly and willing to help/teach you everything you need to know. Perfect of families or a group of mates.

  • 5/5 Cameron F. 1 year ago on Google
    Regarding Sharkmen Charters The rating is 10/10 on everything. Fishing was great and fun . You are the best charter operators out there after trying all the others and I will never go anywhere else. Top shelf. Will be back soon.The booking system is so easy to work with and both boats are well decked out. Thank you. Cameron
