You don't have to head out miles away into the ocean to find excellent fishing when it's waiting right there, off the coast of Ramsgate! Bonwey Charters will put you on the hottest bite around, whether you're a novice or a seasoned sea wolf.
Bring your entire fishing crew with you as Captain Paul Cumber's vessel can hold 10 anglers at the same time. She's 35' long and has ample space on the back deck so you can cast freely. There's plenty of seating space around so you can take a break between hook ups.
Capt. Paul will take you after a wide range of species local to United Kingdom's waters. You can pick and choose to go after Codling, Rays,
European Seabass, Dogfish, and Nursehound, as well as anything else that takes the bait. He's a highly skilled and experienced fisherman with over 15 years of experience fishing the waters of the region.
Bonwey Charters welcome anglers of all ages and skills aboard, and Captain Paul is always happy to teach families of beginners and help them land their first fish, as well as to take out veteran anglers looking to bring home some dinner or catch a personal best.
All trips include a seat for every angler, toilet, and everything you will need for the day's fishing, as well as tea and coffee, hot snacks, constant help and tuition, and all fish caught cleaned and filleted ready for cooking.
Whether you're looking to spice up your UK visit or are a die-hard fanatic looking for the hottest new catch, booking a trip with Bonwey Charters is the right decision!

Full Day Trip – Shared on November 2, 2025 • 4 adultsWe had an amazing day out with Captain Paul! He was an excellent leader who guided and directed us perfectly throughout the trip. Although the weather and conditions weren’t the best for catching fish, Paul’s expertise still helped us get plenty of bites and land several fish — even though most had to be released back into the ocean due to the 42 cm size rule for sea bass. Paul’s professionalism, knowledge of the waters, and friendly attitude made the experience enjoyable from start to finish. Highly recommend choosing Paul’s service for anyone looking for a well-organized and genuinely fun fishing trip!

Catherine Tyack•United KingdomMember since 20205.0VerifiedFull day sea fishing near Dover
Full Day Trip – Shared on August 10, 2020 • 2 adultsPaul and Andy were great company and helped us a lot with changing baits, unhooking fish, and keeping us entertained with conversation and tea! We'll definitely be back next time we're in the area. We caught a good amount of Mackerel and some Dogfish. It was obvious that Paul works hard to put people on fish and make sure that they're having a good time, and we got to try a couple of different spots and techniques. It was also nice that Andy prepped the keepers for us to cook. Also, we were lucky to be fishing by the white cliffs of Dover, which were stunning! Thanks again Paul and Andy, it was great meeting you. And thanks again for the Seabass!

A really fantastic time fishing with my son. We got to meet some really nice people and Paul was an absolutely excellent skipper/host. He took the time to make sure we had the right set up, and looked after baiting hooks etc as well as skin and gut all the fish we caught ready for eating. Took us to about 5 different locations to increase our chances of catching different types of fish but one thing I noticed he was strict on was returning underszied fish straight back into the sea. As above, a great day out and my son is hooked. would definitely recommend.
thanks. I hope to see you again soon
