The crew will be on hand throughout the trip to assist you in every aspect of fishing, from baiting your hook to cleaning your fish and filleting it for you to take home and enjoy. They know how to find fish and, most importantly, to make sure everyone in the group is having fun.
If you are not able to take your catch home with you, the crew would recommend you practice catch and release to protect the local fish stocks and to keep them healthy for you and all around you to visit and enjoy another day.

Thanks Roisin was our pleasure.
Our skipper Paul worked hard for us all day and his advice on how to go about catching the fish we were targeting was very helpful.
Large family unit required 2 boats. Wow. Our boat was captained by Cam. What a star. Great trip. ALL caught fish, Couldn't be happier. Second boat was captained by Daniel. I was told this bloke went above and beyond to care for a slightly seasick daughter in law. They just thought he was great. All in all two great boats, two great, caring captains.
Glad you had a amazing trip!! We are very proud of our captains and how they react with customers. Look forward to seeing you onboard again. Regards Aaron
Great day. Dan knew the harbour and conditions extremely well. He was very conscious of all skill levels of those on board. He had many spots so we found good fishing and we caught a great variety of fish.
Not bad,good size
