Fishing trips and chartering

The boats can be chartered exclusively.  We pride ourselves on our customer service and we will make your experience with us as relaxing and enjoyable as possible.  We love children and welcome them aboard the age of eight.  Younger children are not barred but may not enjoy the experience as much as parents imagine.  But from eight the magic of a sea trip is wonderful to see in a child’s eyes.  They must always wear a life jacket and are the responsibility of their parents or guardian wile aboard.
