Boat and Skipper Details
Bluedawn is a well proven charter boat, , a very comfortable boat in whatever sea you may be in having a wide beam giving extra stability along with comfort, can comfortably fish 10 anglers, although it is licenced for 12 for that little extra space I would advise 10 persons max but its your call, everything you catch is for you to keep, or return for another day, provided it is of size, unlike some skippers who let you only take a percentage of your catch, we are moored in Great Yarmouth's river Yare, there is ample safe parking for cars/vans close to the boat. and easy access,
We cater for the beginners as well as the seasoned angler ,full instruction given. On Deck can be toilet Bait can be provided ,tea ,coffee, all included , please bring what you like though. PLEASE NOTE. IF YOU WANT TO USE WORMS ALL DAY BRING YOUR OWN KEEP THEM TO YOURSELF DUE TO THERE EXPENSE. Open deck for uptiding or down tiding. Plenty of free parking off road. We also do NIGHT TIME trips please ask for details .Also tope and bass specialist trips in the summer.. GIFT VOUCHERS available please email, can be used up any time of year great birthday and Christmas gifts. 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.
Please phone for prices
If you are coming down to the Norfolk area for a holiday or just a day out, try to ensure you book your trip with us before you leave to guarantee your place on the Bluedawn, not always necessary but strongly advised
Tea and Coffee and biscuits provided if you chose to bring pies I will gladly heat them up for you.
Please note I am not one for putting lots of photographs on the website as a lot are made up come with us and enjoy a good day out,
NOW TAKING BOOKING NOW FOR SUMMER/ WINTER FISHING,2023 LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU ALL AGAIN.

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.

Steve Kemp (28/05/2022)
Had a great day out plenty of fish caught and plenty of help from the skipper for the non fishermen onboard (and for me unhooking, I'm used to carp that don't bite back!) . Had smooth hounds, ray, whiting and plenty of doggies on worm. Will def come back for another trip. Skipper also skinned the larger fish for us so ready for cooking Nice to meet you richard, thanks again! Steve
