The man was taken by helicopter to the Royal Melbourne Hospital in a critical condition, while three other men who were in the boat when it overturned at 2.30pm are safe according to a spokeswoman from Ambulance Victoria.
"I don't think they were too far out to sea," the spokeswoman said. "We were told it was a rubber boat".
Police are on the scene but a spokeswoman said poor phone reception is hampering communication.
