Hi all,
After too many months we are back on the water albeit with a different boat. Unfortunately it was beyond our capabilities to restore the Plover and continue to operate.

The good news is we understand that the Plover has been purchased by a Mornington Peninsula local who is looking to restore

Over the week and a half we are operating only on weekends. From 1st December we will be back to full time operations.

We have had a few nice trips over the last couple of weeks as we broke in the new boat. "The Ultimate"

The Plover got moved from it's emergency out of water spot at Martha Cove today.
Tomorrow is our insurance assessment. Fingers 🤞
Another big job out of the way. Many bigger ones ahead we suspect.

Thanks for the thousands of messages and those who have supported the gofundme page set up by the Dolphin Research Institute to aid our recovery. Please continue to support

Sad news out of Mornington, the PLOVER, a well-known charter boat, succumbed to extreme weather conditions early Monday morning while moored in the bay. The beloved vessel, a familiar sight for locals and visitors alike,...

To all the staff and executive at the Dolphin Research Institute, from all of the team at Bayfishntrips.com.au, thank you for your words of encouragement and assistance today.

Hey there...

Today we were heartbroken to see the Plover owned by Bay Fish N Trips sunken at her mooring after those massive waves over night. Bay Fish N Trips have been a long running supporter of the Dolphin Research Institute, regularly reporting sightings of our beloved dolphins in Port Phillip.

We have set up a GoFundMe page to help recover and restore this beautiful vessel. Every donation, no matter the size, brings us one step closer to salvaging this iconic vessel that means so much to our community.

Your support can help us restore not just a piece of maritime history but also a vital part of the Dolphin Research Institute's mission. Please consider clicking the link below to donate or share it with others who care about the Plover!
