Few hours in the morning popping with my own tackle, trying go catch a GT at Leven Bank. No luck with the fish, but overall a good experience and high level of service with fishing plan catered according to my request. Crew experienced the most in trolling.

The crew were excellent and the boat, Suli Suli, exactly as expected. Fishing is always a game of luck and skill and we were unfortunate not to have a single take across the 5 hours. The crew did everything they could, we did catch a fleeting glimpse of dolphins at the back of a shoal of smaller bait fish, there were sandwiches and soft drinks provided etc etc. However it's still difficult not to feel disappointed, we were told that all 4 of the company's boats were out that morning and none of them caught that morning. This is not a cheap excursion so it's important to go into it prepared that you may be paying the money just to drive around on a boat for 5 hours! That being said I cant fault the crew, and the boat was just as I expected!

I sent this to the owner after the journey 'Hi, Unfortunately my son (who is autistic) got too freaked out by the small boat and heavy waves so we had to curtail the journey to just two hours. We have been on rough seas before but I think the size of the boat this time was very small in comparison so it felt quite horrific. I know they mentioned the wind changed and it had gotten worse but for a boat this size i would have cancelled if I had known tbh.' My advice is to pay extra for a bigger boat. This company does have bigger boats. This review is for the smallest one only. Sonar would probably help too.
