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

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!
