    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.

    Thank you Neil. What a day, a 6 hour trip to the south of Scarborough produced a great day of fishing. On the fish all day. Everyone on board went home with lots of cod. Brilliant day thankyou Neil i'll be back soon.Cannot reccomend this boat more highly.

    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.

    We spent the day fishing with Neil off Filey Brigg as a leaving do for someone at work. This was our third trip out with Neil and it was as good as always. Usually we put a group of 12 together but we only had 6 this time. Several of our team were new to fishing so the help which they recieved was invaluable. We caught cod, wrasse and flatties this time, and there was more than enough to feed everyone twice over! The weather was really great, hot with calm seas. We would highly recommend the queensferry fishing trips as Neil is a fab guy with lots of local fishing knowledge and help. 5 stars all round!

    Skippers Reponse: Thankyou for the encouraging comments, so nice to have a bit of glamour aboard the Queensferry when codling fishing. So pleased you caught more than most of the guys. Keep it up Amy. Regs Neil.

    Fished a 6 hour trip, Neil took us over rough ground south of Scarborough. First drift produced a nice 3lb Cod. The boat was full but on every drift fish were been land. Saw Cod, pollock, dab, wraase, pouting and mackerel been caught. I finished the day with a good haul of Cod. It was a great day, we were always on the fish, but thats down to good Skippering !!!. cant wait for my next trip.

    booked an private fishing trip for a birthday present for my son and his 7 friends. Neil was very knowledgeable of the area. He was very patient with less experienced passengers helping them with their rods, bait and fishing techniques. Thank you Neil for enjoyable trip
