ABOUT AND CONTACT
Hoookn Adventures is a Melbourne-based fishing charter and spearfishing operator running premium offshore, inshore and spearfishing trips across Port Phillip Bay, Bass Strait and the wider Victorian coastline. This site is the booking platform for those charters: visitors can browse charter categories, check live availability, reserve seats or the whole boat, add extras like the private lounge and on-water filming, and pay securely online. It is built for anglers, spearfishers, corporate groups and anyone chasing a cinematic day on the water — from first-timers to seasoned hunters. Gift vouchers, seat-request alerts for sold-out trips and a customer portal for managing bookings are all built in. Behind the platform is Benji and the Hoookn crew, running their Edencraft 255 Formula with permanent on-board cameras, full insurance and a reputation built on finding fish and sharing knowledge on every trip. The site, the booking system and the brand are all built and maintained by the Hoookn Adventures team.
YOUR CAPTAIN
Benji Bartlett
Benji has spent his life on and around the ocean, fishing from the age of two and later developing a passion for spearfishing. His experience has taken him across Australia’s east coast and beyond, chasing everything from Snapper and Kingfish to giant Southern Bluefin Tuna. After building and running a successful business for 18 years, Benji turned his focus to a lifelong passion and created HOOOKN — bringing together premium fishing and spearfishing experiences with film and television. Today, Benji hosts HOOOKN’s productions and is hands-on across its charters and retreats, with a simple goal: to take people further, create unforgettable experiences and share the stories that come from life on and under the water.
