Mistress has been sponsored by Daiwa from the beginning of 2013. Daiwa have kindly given us a selection of their excellent, quality tackle for our anglers to try.

Mistress is a Fast Offshore 105 powered by a brand new 420hp Iveco NEF67 Turbo Diesel engine. Giving her a top speed of well over 20 knots. Therefore we can get to all those fishing marks inshore fast or push offshore if we really need to.

Mistress & Skipper Rich are licensed and Insured to carry 12 passengers and 2 crew, allowing us to operate within 60 miles of Whitby, all year round. **We have chosen to limit our trips to maximum of 8 passengers, purely to give everyone more space, and less chance of tangled lines. It gives me more time and space to assist everyone too.**

There is plenty of space onboard Mistress and ample seating is provided for our anglers’ comfort whilst cruising. There is a large bait & filleting station fitted which will also hold up to 12 fishing rods. Rod rests are also fitted to the rails for our anglers use.

Mistress has been fitted with the absolute very latest navigation equipment, we have the latest platinum cards in out plotters and a Maxsea TZ 3D bottom mapping plotter, Giving pin-point accuracy when locating wrecks or prominent fish holding features on the many reefs we fish here at Whitby.

Trips are generally 10 hours in length,
The shorter 2 & 3 trips may be catered for during the evenings throughout the summer, with us offering specialist light gear trips and will require a minimum of 6 anglers and also 6 hour night uptiding trips in winter.

    Had an uptiding trip On the Mistress, with Rich, the skipper doing a very efficient job of getting us to the fish moving from mark to mark depending on the tide and currents and putting us on the fish. With some of the guys better than others at extracting the cod (and pouting) Always very helpful and attentative with the lesser experienced anglers.Everyone went home happy.

    Skippers Reponse: Thanks for your review mate, I look forward to seeing you again soon, all the very best, Rich

    First trip out since lockdown last year... boy was I looking forward to it. Bitterly cold in the morning before we set off but a beautiful day it turnd out to be.The water still hadn't cleared so we went uptiding and we all caught fish. some people using a "lasso " method...., he did say the pennel hook was in its mouth..I caught my usual pouting and as usual went back to grow into a record fish then I won't mind catching it. I am booked for the summer festival in July but I'll bet I am back onboard with Rich before then ( If I can get a booking !) Can't wait for the shadding.

    Skippers Reponse: Thanks peter, i enjoyed my 1st day back too, made better by the quality gents we had onboard! I look forward to seeing you soon mate, and we'll defo get that insure light line trip going this year!

    THE best charter out of Whitby. There is no one else I would go with. Rich never fails to put us on the fish.
