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.
