Snapper Fishing in Melbourne

Fishing runs in the Cassar family. Chris grew up on charter boats alongside his father, Mark Cassar, one of the early operators in Melbourne’s snapper charter scene. Now a third-generation fisherman, Chris brings a lifetime of local experience fishing the waters of Port Phillip Bay, Western Port and the Mornington Peninsula.

Cassar Fishing Charters specialises in snapper fishing charters across Melbourne and the Mornington Peninsula, targeting one of Victoria’s most iconic and exciting sport fish.

Our Melbourne snapper season begins to fire up from September, with the peak period generally running from October through January. We continue targeting snapper throughout the warmer months when conditions and fishing remain productive.


With two purpose-equipped charter boats, we offer both individual spots and whole-boat bookings. Whether you’re an experienced angler or catching your first snapper, our charters cater for all experience levels. Quality rods, reels, bait and tackle are supplied, so you can simply step aboard and fish.

Our snapper charters operate across Western Port and Port Phillip Bay, with departures available from Hastings, Mornington and Carrum. Being mobile allows us to choose the departure location based on where the snapper are fishing best and give our customers the best opportunity for a successful trip. Your exact departure location will be confirmed prior to your charter.

There’s nothing quite like the adrenaline rush of a big Victorian snapper loading up the rod. Our boats provide plenty of fishing room, comfortable seating and shelter, allowing everyone on board the opportunity to get involved.


Snapper fishing charters can book out well in advance during peak season, so book early to secure your preferred date.
