Charter Boats UK

We had a great day out with Roger and Dave. Dave worked like a Trojan helping the novices in our group, which let the anglers in the group fish. Roger put us on the fish and everyone in the party (8) caught decent sized Hounds, Bass and Mackerel. Add in the hot pies, drinks and banter and it was a jolly boy's outing to Ramsgate. Now planning our return date next month.

Skippers Reponse: Thanks Adrian, see you onboard again soon

My Dad and I went on the Skerry Belle today and what a fantastic day we had. Roger the skipper was really helpful and knew his stuff. We caught many fish on the day and it was a day to remember. Thanks Roger, see you again soon.

Skippers Reponse: Glad you enjoyed your day,and see you onboard again soon,

What a great day we both had. Tea and coffe on boarding the boat were unexpected but very acceptable. Advice was most welcome for newcomers to sea fishing. Ron usually course angles, but really loved this. Diana being a sissy girl couldn't put the bait on but one of Roger, John or Pete were always there to help out. Ladies give it a try ( the bonus is you get a brilliant sun tan) Thanks Roger a great day see you next year.

Bass fishing on the skerry belle. Had a great day catching bass, The crew were very helpful and proffessional. Clean boat and plenty off room on board it. Would highly recommend using them. l will be going back out again.

Another trip back to my roots were I fished as a lad along the Kent coast and enjoyed some of the best fishing available from UK waters. I fish a lot off shore and to enjoy an inshore day uptiding for Cod was pleasant and also very productive fishing out of Ramsgate on board the Skerry Belle skippered by owner Roger Lennon. The boat is ideal for inshore angling with plenty of space, the day started quite miserable with heavy rain and overcast skys but little to no wind so the sea state was calm to flat and at the end of the day after plenty of sunshine too it became oily. As it was inshore fishing the mark chosen was reached in a short travelling time and we were soon casting uptide style using top quality lugworm baits provided by the skipper and his reliable digger. Once the scents of our baits found their way around the Codling started to arrive and they were steady throughout the day along with the odd whiting, pout and doggies. Plenty of fish in the box, nice day after the short period of rain and also treated to bacon baps and a hot dinner plus treacle sponge pudding with custard and some tinnies were on offer for those not driving, skipper Roger is a City & Guilds trained chef and can russle up anything you want to bring along or provide meals with prior notice. So to say this inshore trip was a winner on the Ramsgate Riviera can only be the right description and with a beer and fish & chip supper before the drive home and time to reflect on a first class day. In between catching Codling I managed to shoot some HD video for my On Board Series so as soon as that's edited it will go up on my YouTube channel, enjoy some of these vidcaps from the movie and you will soon get the picture of what a great day it was, shoot down to Ramsgate and grab some action while the Cod is plentyful you will get well looked after On the Skerry Belle Charter Boat If you're a beginner plenty of tuition is available and you even get your catch prepared ready to take home.

Skippers Reponse: We always try that bit harder allan, and so pleased you enjoyed ur day

Back to my roots I grew up fishing the Kent coast and enjoying some best fishing on offer around the UK. Recently I was invited to join a party of anglers boat fishing out of Ramsgate Marina so a return to fish near marks I fished many years ago. The boat was the Skerry Belle a large spacious traditional style boat which was originally a licensed ferry boat off the east coast. Skipper owner Roger Lennon who has years of experience fishing off Ramsgate and the notorius Goodwin Sands was friendly and willing to find you fish and provide any support you could want, crewman that day was Geordie John a very experienced angler again willing to offer any guidandce you care to ask for. I have uptided before but needed help in how it was done off Ramsgate and both Roger and John obliged and put me on the right track including baiting techniques that work well. Since that first trip I have enjoyed more outings taking good sized Bass largest to date 7lbs+ and the last trip we hit the thornback rays with me being the top rod with most caught and heaviest fish at 11.5lbs. With the winter Cod showing I will be back for many more and his toasted bacon sarnies are to die for if you get time to eat them as the fish jump all over your baits. To sum it up a wicked find to return to my roots with many more being planned, you need to have some yourself and Enjoy !!!

We had a wonderful trip with Roger and the crew - they made us feel so welcome. It was a big occasion for us as we were scattering Dad's ashes in the sea near Dumpton Gap. They were really thoughtful and sensitive and got it just right for us. I'd wholeheartedly recommend the Skerry Belle and her crew to anyone who's thinking of making a similar trip - you can rely on these guys 100%. Hoping to go back for a trip to Thanet offshore wind farm this summer on the Skerry Belle!

Went out today and we steamed out to a mark, as soon as the anchor was dropped we started catching fish with codling, doggies and large whiting coming onboard. Roger gave us expert tuition on how to rig up baits etc and it did help a lot, it saved us a lot of time and kept us fishing. As the tide started to turn peeler crab baits worked well with three smoothounds coming onboard on a trot. With more fish coming onboard Paul soon found himself into a larger fish, it was a lovely 7lb thorn back Ray which was caught on a herring bait. More codling and some very big whiting we're landed until a screaming reel hooked everyone's attention. Everyone knew it was a big fish and we were watching wondering what it could be. As the lead came out of the water so did a lovely specimen thorn back ray of 13lb caught on lug and squid. Roger is a great skipper and extremely helpful and definitely knows his stuff, will definitely be going out again as he is extremely helpful and wants everyone to catch fish.Overall a cracking days fishing!!
