Normal full day trips , bait can be included. shorter trips in the summer unless requested to suit all.

IMPORTANT. on booking the whole boat, we are coded for 12 place it means what it says not expecting to pay for 6 places when your mates let YOU down. Organisers of trips please be aware best to collect all funds before sail date to protect the others in case of let downs, responsibility is the group who have booked not the skippers.

REMEMBER TO BOOK PRIOR TO COMING ON HOLIDAY TO GUARANTEE YOUR PLACE:- If you are planning a holiday or just a short day and full day trips, fishing from Great Yarmouth . easy parking and boat access. We will also do longer trips as required. Booking for winter fishing running trips daily.

For the best price and probably on the East coast, give Richard a call discounts for full charter mid week trips.

    I have used Richard multiple times (5 or 6 events over last two years) for social club fishing events, and every time the feedback has been fantastic (weather helps but is never guaranteed in UK). Richard is great company, and makes the atmosphere relaxed and fun on boat. This makes the whole day enjoyable and people come back asking when the next trip will be planned. Whether you’re an experienced fisherman or a complete novice, Richard makes sure everyone is well looked after and has a great time. I thoroughly recommend him to anyone considering a fishing trip—you will not be disappointed! We are already planning our next trips for 2026.

    Skippers Reponse: Thank you pleased everyone enjoyed their experiences on Bluedawn and with me, looking forward to next time

    We hired Richard to scatter my late mother's ashes at sea. He was very accommodating and straight forward. He knew exactly what was expected, was very respectful. He also arrived exactly on time to pick us up so there was no waiting around. Perfect service and a real gentleman. Thank you Richard.
