We do offer fishing trips and family friendly short fishing trips, which are always popular. Our fishing trips are for summer mackerel and pollock. We can provide up to 4 roads per trip, sometimes hand lines. Fishing is often an exciting new experience for children and we restrict rods to 2 per family of 4 to limit the possibilities of people being caught with hooks. We permit a modest number of fish to be taken home ‘for the table’ on the promise they will be eaten. All other fish are returned to sea for sustainability.

The weather can change dramatically in a short space of time while at sea. Wearing multiple thinner layers will keep you warm and you can remove them if you are too hot. We advise you to bring wind and waterproof jackets, trousers and a hat. Sunglasses and sunblock are also advised, as the sun can be very strong and the atmosphere is very clear.

Q: IS THERE PARKING NEARBY?

Yes there is parking at the ticket office. Parking is at your own risk. There is also parking through the village and in a car park at the jetty where the trips depart from. This is 200m from the ticket office.

Q: WHAT TRIPS CAN MY CHILDREN COME ON?

Children of all ages are welcome on all trips. Every child is different and we feel that the parents know best what length of trip their children will enjoy. For families with a number of children of different ages, or with very young children the Family Friendly trip can work well, as its more playful, and child orientated. Because our passenger license limits the number of people aboard to 12 maximum, there are no child discounts on our longer trips. Our shorter Family Friendly trips are priced per family.

Q: WHAT WILDLIFE WILL WE SEE & WILL WE GET CLOSE UP?

We enjoy a very wide diversity of wildlife in our area of operation. Each boat trip description details the birds and wildlife that you have a good chance of encountering. We put regular photographs and videos from our recent trips on Social Media to give you an idea of what you might see. If you use the date filter on fACEBOOK you can loook back at what we saw in the same time last year.

However we must remind you, that it is a wet and sometimes rough environment, and we cannot accept liability for loss or damage to your equipment.
