Fishing Trips

Sweet William is a brand new 10 metre by 4 metre catamaran, built and fitted out by the skipper himself, and first launched in late 2021.

There is ample deck space and Sweet William provides a clean, fast and stable platform from which to enjoy a coastal sightseeing trip, enjoy a day's angling, launch a drone / for photography sunrise and sunset trips, or to scatter the ashes of a loved one. We also arrange upriver cruises to the Newcastle Quayside and can request the Gateshead Millennium Bridge to be opened for us when we arrive; perfect for a graduation celebration or a children's birthday party etc.

The boat is equipped with a full Furuno electronics package comprising the latest navigational and electronic aids, including a state of the art Furuno / WASSP F3 multi beam sonar to provide real time 3D images of the wrecks and seabed.

Sweet William is built and certified to the highest Seafish / MCA commercial specifications, and additionally RYA coded as both a light workboat and an angling vessel permitted to carry up to 12 passengers and 2 crew. Sweet William's crew are both fully qualified commercial skippers, and the vessel and all passengers are covered with fully comprehensive insurance.

Evening trips from 5:00pm to 9:00pm approximately £40 per person / £400 to charter the full boat.

Full day trips from 7:00am to 4:00pm approximately £70 per person / £700 to charter the full boat.

Personally tailored timings and packages are always accommodated, and a discount may be negotiated based on a single party wishing to charter the full boat.

Rod and reel hire is available at an additional £10 per day; we also carry an extensive selection of tackle for sale if required. Bait may be organised if sufficient notice is given well in advance of any trip departures.

We also have a spotlessly clean and well maintained toilet onboard.

Please note, a deposit of £20 per person will be required no later than two days prior to any trip departure date.
