What to bring: Although our deck is largely under cover, it’s always essential to dress for the weather. It can change rapidly, so it’s a good idea to wear layers. Bring a rain jacket and warm clothes, sun protection including a hat, sunglasses and sunscreen.
We’ll supply: Rods and reels, bait, tackle, assorted snacks (fresh fruit, cheese and crackers, snack bars), water and soft drinks
Age and Supervision: We recommend that this activity is suitable for children aged 6 – 16 years and up. We cannot return to the Marina during a trip, so please ensure that your children are suitable for this activity. Whilst it is our responsibility to care for our passengers at all times, parents need to supervise their children at all times whilst on the boat.
Cancellation: The weather can change quickly, and safety is our first priority. If the weather presents a potentially dangerous or uncomfortable experience, we will cancel the charter. If this happens, we will notify passengers at the earliest convenience and attempt to reschedule. If we cannot reschedule, you’ll be issued a refund.
Please Note: A minimum of 8 passengers is required for the charter to operate, and with a maximum of just 24 people on board, places are limited. Be sure to book early to secure your spot and avoid missing out.
