Brightlingsea
We are very pleased to welcome you to our site. Our team works from Brightlingsea which is an all tide harbour. This means we can leave at any time, since we are not dependant on the tide. Also we are fully wheelchair accessible.
Our normal departure time is 8am and we’re generally returning around 4pm, although other times can be arranged if required including night trips. We are a walk on walk off boat which means that our boat is in line with the jetty, so it’s easily accessible if you have any difficulty with the ladders. We are disabled user accessible so wheelchairs users are more than welcome.
We can now take up to 12 people at one time.
If night fishing is your thing, then look no further, as we also have night fishing trips available upon request. When fishing with us tea and coffee are available all day free of charge also we have toilet facilities on board.
Want to cook your catch or bring some food with you? no problem as we also have a full-size cooker, so if you want to bring some food and heat it up, with our full cooking facilities that is already taken care of.
For the fisherman who hates skinning the fish we have a new toy. A fish skinning machine for all types of fish from cod, dog fish, skate and many more. Just place your fish in and it comes out skinned and ready to cook as soon as you get home.
Don't worry if you have never fished a day in your life. We are here to offer you full guidance and help, all free of charge. Life jackets are also available upon request. Your charter fishing trip is managed by experienced fishermen from Brightlingsea who know the waters and are happy to help you too.
We provide all the equipment you may need for a fantastic fishing expedition. From our state of the art up tide and bottom fishing rods, to 15lb lines which can help you catch that sea monster you dream of, we supply everything free of charge. Frozen bait like squid, mackerel, and herring are also included.
Our team have a collective experience of over 40 year in the industry not inly at Brightlingsea but also charter fishing around the Essex coast. You can rest assured that you'll be in great hands.
We would like to give you a brief overview of our services, boat & experience in running boats.
