An hour on the lakes is the best hour of your holiday
The Gippsland Lakes are one of Australia's largest inland waterways, and Lakes Entrance sits right at the door.
- Cruise the calm water. Sheltered arms and channels, perfect for first-timers.
- Spot the wildlife. Pelicans, black swans and, if you are lucky, dolphins.
- Drop a line. Quiet spots for bream and flathead, away from the crowds.
- Make a party of it. Fire up the BBQ on a pontoon with up to 12 friends.

Questions people ask
Do I need a boat licence?
Not for the putt putts or BBQ pontoons. They are easy to drive and we show you how before you go. The Polycraft is for licensed boat drivers only, and we check your licence at the jetty.
Is it OK for kids?
Yes, families are our favourite customers. Children under 10 must wear a life jacket at all times, and we have them in every boat.
Can we go fishing?
Absolutely. The lakes are full of quiet spots to drop a line. Bring your own gear and bait. Anglers aged 18 to 70 may need a Victorian recreational fishing licence.
What if the weather turns?
Your safety comes first. If the weather is not safe, we will text you to move your booking to another time.
