Amendment to my last review, Having had little experience of boat trips when I went out on the Queensferry I have made some mistakes in my 1st review, having just had my 8th trip from Whitby I have realised just how exceptional Neil & crew were. If like me your lacking experience, you really can't go wrong with the Queensferry, Neil goes out of his way to get you catching fish, his knowledge advice and friendly personality make it a great boat for novices, groups and the experienced. Not all my trips from Whitby were disappointing, but even though its only 20 miles away, the skippers seem to be very different a couple didn't even get out the cabin they just sat playing with there phones. They certainly didn't get so involved as Neil, Plus the trips were more expensive. I'm certain you will have a great day on the queensferry, hopefully i will see you on board next year
Skippers Reponse: Thank you for such a rave review Mike, hopefully we have now got you fully hooked !.Tight lines 2016. Regs. Neil H.

It sas a last minute decission to book a day on the Queenferry, as i saw the weather would be good, and it was one of the best trips i've been on, Skipper Neil and his No2 Paul made me welcome from the start and gave me some great advise and help. As previous reviews its a good old wooden boat plenty on space and very stable, the added bonus of some porpoises swimming past as we returned to the harbour with a boat full of Cod Ling & Pollock and 7 very happy fishermen. Thank you Neil and i will see you soon.

What a great days fishing with Neil the skipper on the Queensferry, kept us over fish all day with over 100 cod caught on a 6 hour trip between 8 of us. Also a very helpful deckhand (Paul) who was there with the net all day. Booked again for next month already, great days fishing.

A fabulous skipper with no end of time for new and experienced anglers. I will always go back to Neil due to the "family" atmosphere every time I jump aboard. Well happy every time.
