Portarlington Mussel Tour
Portarlington Mussel Tour Ferry aboard Port Phillip Ferris is an intimate boat tour that celebrates Portarlington Mussels
Take the ferry direct from Docklands to Portarlington in only 70 minutes. When you arrive you'll step straight off one boat and onto another one called Valerie, a fully refurbished 40-year-old mussel vessel that will take you out on the bay for a luxurious and unique coastal experience.
When you head out of the harbour you"ll be sipping on a local Bellarine wine and learning about the various stages of mussel farming from our mussel farmer Lance Wiffen. Touch the mussel ropes as they're pulled from the water and get a front row seat to the whole farming process.
Cooking demonstrations and tastings will introduce you to delicious mussel recipes that you can savour alongside premium local produce. With a small number of participants and a spacious vessel, there'll always be a quiet spot to relax on the decks or the saloon if you simply want to chill out.
The total focus is your ultimate enjoyment. You'll walk away with a new appreciation of the humble mussel, a deep understanding of sustainable aquaculture, and lasting memories of a great day on the bay. If you happen to spy a few dolphins or make some new friends, then that's an added bonus!
The beautiful mussel vessel has been fully refurbished and is very comfortable, with indoor and outdoor seating, heating and cooling, and a bathroom thats worth taking a selfie in! We cruise fairly close to shore, and enjoy many wonderful sights from that vantage point.
Cannot wait to welcome you on board!
