Boat and Skipper Details
Sweet William is a brand new 10 metre by 4 metre catamaran, built and fitted out by the skipper himself, and first launched in late 2021.
There is ample deck space and Sweet William provides a clean, fast and stable platform from which to enjoy a coastal sightseeing trip, enjoy a day's angling, launch a drone / for photography sunrise and sunset trips, or to scatter the ashes of a loved one. We also arrange upriver cruises to the Newcastle Quayside and can request the Gateshead Millennium Bridge to be opened for us when we arrive; perfect for a graduation celebration or a children's birthday party etc.
The boat is equipped with a full Furuno electronics package comprising the latest navigational and electronic aids, including a state of the art Furuno / WASSP F3 multi beam sonar to provide real time 3D images of the wrecks and seabed.
Sweet William is built and certified to the highest Seafish / MCA commercial specifications, and additionally RYA coded as both a light workboat and an angling vessel permitted to carry up to 12 passengers and 2 crew. Sweet William's crew are both fully qualified commercial skippers, and the vessel and all passengers are covered with fully comprehensive insurance.
Evening trips from 5:30pm to 9:00pm approximately £35 per person / £350 to charter the full boat.
Full day trips from 7:30am to 4:30pm approximately £65 per person / £650 to charter the full boat.
Personally tailored timings and packages are always accommodated, and a discount may be negotiated based on a single party wishing to charter the full boat.
Rod and reel hire is available at an additional £10 per day; we also carry an extensive selection of tackle for sale if required. Bait may be organised if sufficient notice is given well in advance of any trip departures.
We also have a spotlessly clean and well maintained toilet onboard.
If you are travelling from further afield and would like to stay in the region we also offer Sweet William Holiday Retreat in the beautiful Northumberland fishing village of Seaton Sluice, comprising 3 bedrooms and 6 beds fully furnished. See further images and details here: https://www.sweetwilliam.uk/catchreports/sweet-william-holiday-retreat or contact ML Estates / ML Retreats on 0191 2376060.
Please note, a deposit of £20 per person will be required no later than two days prior to any trip departure date.

I’ve been out with Geoff and 1st man Henry on several occasions last year and this is honestly the best boat I’ve been on and I’ve been on lots from Whitby,Redcar,Hartlepool and Sunderland and this is my 1st and only choice from now on.Incredible boat and sonar helps Geoff put you bang over the wreck and
“almost “ guarantees you fish if their on the feed.
There’s not many boats that offer a clean toilet onboard and also crisps,Sandwiches and tea and coffee on slack water when the fish tend to go off the feed until the tide changes.I can recommend Sweet William for beginners and experts alike……10/10 all the way for me �� ��

Massive thanks to the guys and girls for a great run out today at short notice. A lovely PB Ling for Ryan, and yes, finally, we got Amelia a cracking Ling! Some fantastic double and treble shots of Codling coming up steadily throughout the day, with some solid Pollack and Coalies also coming aboard. Great craic as always, with dolphins to finish the day off in style as we entered the piers on the run home.

Massive thanks to Nick from the Northumberland Inshore Fisheries and Conservation Authority for organising a run out yesterday with family and friends. We made the most of a short weather window, and found Ewan (who was on vacation from the USA) and Dom a lovely stamp of mackerel for the BBQ that evening. We had literally one drop on a wreck with baited hooks, and Susie wasted no time in finding a fantastic Cod before the cruise home!

We had a wet and wild run out yesterday for Tog and the Barnsley lads from the Keel Inn angling club. Thankfully the choppy seas eased off into the afternoon, but the rain stayed relentless for the majority of the day. Some great stamp of Codling, Ling and Pollack, and plenty of mackerel pretty much all day, making an appearance despite the testing conditions.

A chilly, choppy and windy morning whilst finding some mackerel, turned into a sunny, flat calm afternoon. Great craic with the lads, with some lovely Codling, Ling, Whiting, Haddock, Pouting, Pollack and plenty of Mackerel. Young Tyler taking top rod for the number of fish caught, and Andy finding a fantastic Cod just shy of 15lb.
