Fishing Trips

The name 'Deep Blue' comes with an incredible reputation on the south coast. My first boat, an Evolution 38 was originally an Eastbourne boat but was sold a few years ago and was sent to Wales. I have had the privilege of bringing her back to the South East. Deep Blue V1 has now been replaced with a catamaran which has been christened with the same name.
Deep Blue is now one of the approved charter boats for the annual Species League competition.

I'm Simon, owner and skipper of Deep Blue. Originally from Newcastle Upon Tyne, I spent nearly twenty years working in Oxford before relocating to Eastbourne in the summer of 2021. Fishing has been always been a big part of my life. My Grandad and my Dad were both real keen fishermen. My Grandad was also a rod builder, and I loved spending hours in the summer holidays as a kid watching him in his workshop.
I left my career in Mechanical Engineering to take up a life on the waves.
I moonlight as a wedding/event photographer. I am an experienced videographer and drone pilot. I was trained to the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) standard to fly drones commercially, and held a PFCO for a number of years.

I hold a valid commercial endorsement from the RYA to skipper chartered motor boats up to 24m in length.
