We have recently purchased a blyth 33 catamaran powered by two 8.2litre doosan engines capable of cruising 16-18knts with a flat out speed over 23knts. the blyth catamaran is a fast modern boat comfortable both at anchor and under steam. She has some indoor seating a toilet accessible at deck level and spray cover to keep you drier and more comfortable. we have a live well on deck and seating for more than 10 people on deck.
with a beam of 5 meters there is loads of deck room even with 10 anglers on board.
WE ARE AVAILABLE TO TAKE BOOKINGS 7 DAYS A WEEKS 12 MONTHS OF THE YEAR
most trips run from 6.30-7.30am untill 16.30-17.30 at night although if you book the boat we can arrange times around you. we also offer night trips from 17.30-12.30am at night and evening trips in the river from 17.30-21.30 in the estuary. these are available upon request and we can arrange trips to suit your requirements.

I have fished since I could hold a rod and grew up aboard my dads charter boats in the 90's. as I got older I took my Orkney longliner out and my dads boats when I got the chance. I am obsessed with fishing I have no other real hobbies and just about any free time I have is devoted to fishing related activities. This may sound abit sad but as I enjoy all kinds of fishing I have little time for anything else. My real passion is for sea angling but if I had more time I would like to spend a little more time fresh water fishing aswell.the first 'galloper' was bought by myself and my dad back in 2007.she was a brinkliner 28 and kept me busy for a couple of years. My wife stacey and i bought the second 'Galloper' back in march 2009 she was an aquastar 33 and we ran her untill 2013 when we bought our evolution 33 also named 'galloper' and the evolution did very well over the next six and a half years.
early in 2019 we bought a blyth 33 and spent 10 months completely overhauling her to bring her up to the standard we like to give our customers. the bltyh catamaran is a vary stable and spacios platform which is very popular with the anglers for her speed, room and stability.
i look forward to many good trips aboard her over the coming years. Although I'm only in my 30'sI have plenty of experience as a skipper as before all of this i was running my dads boats since I got my Yachtmasters Offshore licence when I was 17. before that I was taking his boat out with my grandad or brothers or friends whenever I could. I like to think that all of this along with many holidays spent fishing other venues has helped to give me a large amount of experience and knowledge for my age.

Excellent Skipper went with two non fisherman friends and he could not do enough to help them, which let me get on with my fishing. Mind you think I should have got some help as they caught more than me.
Skippers Reponse: i'm glad you enjoyed your day Greg. thank you for taking the time to review your experience. best leave the others behind next time!!

Fishing Report by Scott Belbin
27 May 2024 by Scott Belbin
It's not just bass coming out at the moment. The hound fishing has been good at times too. We had a great evening with Tony and the lads the other night. Hounds were our main aim and they were feeding well from the first cast. Kevin started us off and Neil wasn't far behind. There were lots of double figure fish and the biggest falling to Neil at 18.5lb. unfortunately around 1lb smaller than his pb (caught around 15 years ago on one of my previous boats) but still a great fish. Tony had a nice little stingray and along with the 30 odd hounds we had lots of bass and other bits and bobs.

Come rain or shine the fishing has been good this week. Numbers of hounds and bass and some nice fish amongst them. The lads have kept a few bass each trip with many more returned. The hounds have been feeding well at times and there have been some decent double figure fish coming out too. Making up the rest of the catches are dogfish, whiting, dabs and tope.
I have spaces remaining this weekend and into next week

Fishing Report by Scott Belbin

Well there's a first time for everything! I've often seen a hooked bass chased by other bass as we bring it in. It happens with lots of fish where I gather they are confused by the excitement of the hooked fish and don't want to miss out. However they normally shy away as they near the boat. But on this occasion I was able to net the non-hooked bass before netting the one he was chasing! We've caught two on one hook and even caught them on the grips of the weight but you can tell there are a lot of bass around when I can just pluck them from the sea without the need for a rod!
So you may have gathered there are plenty of fish out there at the moment and I have spaces this week.

The fishing over the last week or two has really turned a corner and it suddenly feels quite like summer. Obviously the weather has been great too and we have been busy catching lots of fish.
Some days the bass have been in great numbers on lures and baits. Smooth hounds are here in numbers and sizes vary from one day to another. The biggest in the last few weeks has been over 18.5lb. we have even seen quite a few tope mixed in on our general trips too which is hopefully a good sign for the tope season. I will report on this once we have finished as normal so please don't wait for reports before you book.
Next individual spaces are this Tuesday (21st) then over the bank holiday weekend. Please call 07956411528 for more information -

It's not all about the bass! There are still a few thornback ray showing along with the bass, smooth hounds, dogfish, whiting and dabs ect. They might not be as numerous as a few years ago but the other day we had 8 rays as well as 25-30 hounds and over 50 bass. There were several other species caught including the first tope of the year for us.
I have spaces aboard Galloper from this weekend onwards for individuals and groups.
