About the Skipper:

We have been operating our Charter business for a number of years (20+) and we hopefully know how to treat our customers.
If when sea fishing we caught fish all the time it would be called 'CATCHING' not fishing, !!!
We will always try do our best to get you on the fish. but can not guarantee the weather, nor that the fish are feeding!!!.

Tea and coffee always available plus an oven (NO microwave) to heat pies etc.

This Charter has been listed as Suitable for Diving Trips. Contact the Skipper for full details.

  • 5-star Mia Helyer (06/12/2020)

    My family and I went on a Sea Safari during lockdown this year. It was easily the highlight of all of our 2020. Dave was so professional and ensured all covid regulations were followed. Dave is also very knowledgeable and knew all the local hot spots to find the local sea life and we were able to see so much. Couldn’t recommend Dave enough!!

    Skippers Reponse: Hi Mia
    Many thanks for your complimentary review, it was a pleasure to take you and your lovely family out to see the wonderful wildlife we have right on our doorstep.
    Hope we will see you all again in the near future. Dave

  • 5-star Bekey Ng (16/08/1970)

    We went fishing with my daughter, Florence. With Dave and Sarah’s help, she enjoyed her first ever fishing trip very much. Thank you both for giving us a brilliant day out.

    Skippers Reponse: Many thanks for taking the time to write a review, it was a pleasure meeting your family.

  • 5-star Scott Henderson (30/08/2017)

    My Father and I went out for an 8 hour fishing trip, off the Skerries bank, with Dave and Craig and had a thoroughly enjoyable day. Their hospitality was incredible- always making hot drinks/making conversation and also helping to land the fish. Dave did his upmost to keep us on the fish (where he was very successful) and also provided advice/assistance on how to catch them. His price is very good value for money and we would not hesitate to go out with him again or recommend him to others.

  • 5-star Colin Johnson (04/07/2017)

    2 trips out on Kellys Hero last week, my first ever. Great boat and skipper, crewman craig was excelent and helped everone onboard. Dave worked his socks off to put on the fish. Pity the fish wern't co-operating but we did find some fish on both days. Good craic with these guys. Thank you. Will try and get back for more trips soon - Regards Colin (Northampton)

    Having had an amazing May and June on the Cod wrecks the Bass have now started to move in.
    Call us to book your trips as spaces on individual days are still available.

  • 12/2014 Fishing Report by Dave Saunders

    Dec 2014 by Dave Saunders

    Great view of Brixham Harbour, great place to experience fishing either for the novice or the experienced angler. Looking forward to 2015

  • 05/05/2013 Fishing Report by Dave Saunders

    5 May 2013 by Dave Saunders

    Good numbers of Plaice still being caught off the Skerries Banks, wreck fishing is still proving to be lean due to the water teperature, May bloom and lack of bait fish this should soon change with the warmer weather.

  • 10/2012 Fishing Report by Dave Saunders

    Oct 2012 by Dave Saunders

    October has produced some good catches of Pollack on the inshore wrecks with Cod and Bass also making a show on the occasional trip. Sprats are abundant and are the reason that the bigger fish have now started to move onto the inner wrecks.
    It's good to have some upbeat anglers making bookings for next year (2013) already. Torbay Fishing Festival was interesting this year with good numbers of Black Bream showing and winning the top prize this year.

    Our diary is now available for 2013 bookings, I look forward to help you choose your tides and dates.

    Jul 2012 by Dave Saunders

    Good numbers of Pollack coming off the inshore wrecks with weights upto 6 lbs quite common.
    Bass now in good numbers on the inshore reefs when tides and conditions are right.
