What type of Boat do I rent?

First of all, we need to decide on where you are thinking about renting a boat. Are you planning to head out into Port Phillip Bay (PPB) or are you heading to one of Victorias beautiful rivers or lakes?

Rivers and lakes are a great place to go boating and aren’t affected by the weather like the bays. Renting a boat at Lake Eildon for example would be an awesome place to start. You can rent a fishing boat or pontoon (BBQ Boat) and enjoy the wonders of Lake Eildon with you your family and friends.

If you are boating with only a couple of your friends and family, then hire a fishing boat. You can still sightsee with the fishing boat and it will move a little faster in the water.

Renting a boat for Port Phillip Bay or Western Port is just as easy. There are plenty of options from a boat charter service or if you have a marine licence captain yourself. If you are after a flat deck boat that is easy for you and your guests to move around, then check out our Corio Bay listing. It is a fantastic boat, and the captain is good fun too.

If you are planning to captain your own boat, then make sure you have the knowledge and experience to operate it considering the size and skills required.

Where To Go Boating?

Corio Bay is another spectacular place to go boating. Corio Bay is approximately 1hr and 20 minutes from Melbourne CDB. The bay itself is a safe bay to boat and is surrounded by the Geelong foreshore. There are plenty of places for you and your family and friends to get ‘Fish n Chips’ before you set out on your boating adventure.
