  • 5-star Neil Sweetman (07/08/2021)

    Had a fantastic day with Frank (skipper) and Kit. Even though it was a blowy and choppy day, Frank put us on the fish. Cod, mackerel and pouting. Would not hesitate to recommend both the boat and crew to any group of anglers looking for a good value day out. Without a doubt a 5 star day.

    Skippers Reponse: Cheers Neil we enjoyed the day too , you seemed to be on form catching the cod on Saturday thank you

  • 5-star Julie Birchenall (20/09/2019)

    Went out last Friday for a four hour trip, perfect weather, not great tides but still caught cod, pouting and mackerel. Frank (skipper) was friendly and knowledgeable and worked to get us over the fish and catching. Fab morning for me and Dad, would definitely recommend and we will be booking again. Thanks Frank!

    Skippers Reponse: Thanks Julie , I enjoyed the trip too , I’m pleased your dad got the big cod too,good photo as well cheers , frank
