Evening Boat Fishing Trips

Yes, our half day fishing trips will still go ahead in the rain. We will only cancel trips if high winds are forecast. Please bring your own waterproof clothing.

Well behaved dogs are welcome on evening fishing trips with prior permission from the skipper. Please be aware there are hooks and bait around the boat. It can also be noisy and hot in the summer. If you decide to bring a dog it will be your responsibility for the entirety of the trip.

Yes – evening boat fishing trips make excellent stag and hen do’s, business away days, parties or multi-generational family days out. To charter the whole boat for your group simply book all 12 spaces on your chosen day. If there are less than 12 spaces available this means there are already people booked on the trip.

Yes, there is a toilet on board.

Please bring a jumper with you even on a sunny day as it can get chilly at sea. If rain is forecast, please bring a waterproof coat. We also recommend wearing a hat and sun cream.

If Luke, the Owner/Skipper of Snapper Charters deems the weather unsuitable for a Evening Fishing Trip or the minimum passenger number has not been met the trip will be cancelled with as much prior notice as possible. You will usually be contacted the evening before when we have access to the latest weather report. You will be contacted on the phone number/email address provided at the time of booking to try and arrange alternate dates. If we are unable to agree upon a mutually suitable date and transfer your booking, you will receive a cancellation email (please keep an eye on your junk mail folder) and full refund of any money paid. If you (the customer) would like to cancel a Evening Fishing Trip a full refund will be given up until 72 hours prior to the trip commencing. To cancel please click the 'view booking' button in your confirmation email and follow the instructions. It is also possible to transfer your booking to another date up until 72 hours before your trip. No refund will be given for cancellations that occur less than 72 hours before your trip.

Advance booking is essential. Meet us on the pontoon outside Bennetts Fish and Chip shop. Arrive 15 minutes prior to departure. We kindly ask you to wait on the harbour wall until we've finished cleaning the boat/unloading passengers. Please leave plenty of time for parking as it can get busy, especially in the summer.

Please make every effort to arrive 15 minutes early and ensure you are in the right place and ready to go. We run all of our trips back to back, so it's essential that we leave on time. If you arrive more than 5 minutes late, we are afraid the boat will depart without you and NO refund will be given. We do not want to cut the trip short for the people who have made it there on time.

All tackle and bait are provided at no additional cost.

Yes, but they will still need to buy a ticket in advance.

There is always a chance of catching something to take home and cook/BBQ. We abide by all minimum landing sizes and allowances and it will be up to the skipper’s discretion whether a fish can be taken home. Please note, some species are catch and release only.
