What is the Ultimate Melbourne Boat? A tough question, the answer of which depends on the type of boating you do. Melbourne is an interesting boating location with plenty of great marina and raft up locations, but also weather that keeps the best of us on our toes. Then of course there is the fishing, with Port Phillip and Westernport offering some of Australia’s best fish stock. In my opinion the best way to to make the most of our beautiful waterways is to assume that 90% of your boating will be same day, not overnight and probably a 5-6 hour hitout until a seabreeze pops up, or your crew are ready to go home. On any given summers day you will find places like Sandridge, St Kilda, Black Rock, Beaumaris Bay, Safety beach, Queenscliff, Port Arlington, Williamstown, Geelong and Rye just to name a few that are populated with day boaters, having a swim, enjoying being with family and friends, or maybe even towing a tube around. The fishing fleet are a bit more hardy, heading out further and for longer chasing which ever species in ‘on’ at the time. So what boat can do all of these things and handle the conditions that Port Phillip in particular can throw at you without warning? We say Robalo dual consoles are the answer for a serious crossover fishing option, or if you arent into fishing in a big way and want some accomodation then the Cruisers Yachts GLS range. Both Cruisers and Robalo are reknowned for build quality and performance, so either way you can’t go wrong. The big problem is working out what type of boating you want to do.
