    Liverpool - party of 9

    3 Hour Trip –Sea Fishing Experience on July 30, 2026 • 10 adults • 1 child

    I would highly recommend this trip the boat was immaculate, the Captain and crew were excellent. We caught so many fish and stopped off for a swim with paddle boarding and some aquatic toys which was really refreshing. Beer and champagne was also offered once back at the marina our host arranged a taxi boat to their lovely seafood restaurant were I’m sitting while writing this review and about to dine on our catch.
