With wonderful fishing for Snapper, Squid, Whiting, Elephant Fish, Gummy and School Shark and with a Melbourne’s closest marine park and a national park near by we have something for everyone, either fishing or cruising.
Sheltered from a North and a Westerly wind, and part of Mornington Boat Hire Bait and Tackle Pty Ltd (Schnapper Point Boat Hire) even if the weather is not suitable at Yaringa, we may be even able to get you on the water in one of our Schnapper Point Boat Hire Boats. That’s right we have a total of 26 boats making us one of Victoria’s, and Australia’s biggest rental boat companies.
Yaringa Boat Hire has a fleet of Marine Board-approved boats for up to 6 people, fully equipped with safety gear. Fitted with weather protective canopies, boats are available for hire at very reasonable rates seven days a week all year round. No boat licence is needed (however we do have a couple of faster hire boats for those with a boat licence); just a driver’s licence, deposit, appropriate clothing for the weather conditions and, a mobile phone. Yaringa staff will fully explain safety procedures and provide handling instructions, maps and Fishing Hotspots. Wearing of Personal Floatation Devices (life jackets) when the vessel is underway is advisable but not compulsory for hire boats. Children under 11 years of age will be fitted with a PFD jacket without charge and must wear it at all times in the boat.
Should you like to try the rich fishing grounds of Western Port you can purchase fishing gear from us before you head out to the estuary entrance for whiting, salmon and flathead. For the more adventurous, proceed to the open waters around Eagle Rock for snapper, gummies or elephant fish. Before departing on your fishing trip, check with our friendly staff about the weather conditions and what fish are biting. We can help you with any fishing gear hire requirement or bait and tackle. We have a full bait and tackle store on site, ready and stocked to get you out and on the fish!
Alternatively, you can enjoy the Yaringa Marine Park. Viewing the scenic vegetation and wild life from the water rivals the famous mangrove estuaries of the Daintree, and you don’t have to travel to Far North Queensland! Known locally as the Yaringa Everglades, you can cruise peacefully past swans, ibis, cormorants, pelicans, terns and Pacific gulls – without giving crocodiles a thought!
