Thank you so much for an amazing trip out. My husband and little boy came home so happy with their first squid fishing trip. Best fishing trip they've done & loved every minute! 😀

Been on 2x 90min mackerel trips, luckily blessed with low winds and sunshine, 1st trip blanked, second trip everyone went home with something. Even if you blank its still a nice time out on the water and the skipper is very knowledgeable about the local area and the history of Portland harbour. Will go again if the weather looks good when I am back in Weymouth again. If you really want more fish/more chance of fish, I would say the 4 hour trip would be better, the 90min trip doesn't go to far from the marina, so probably doesn't hit the best spots, more hoping for a shoal to be passing the area.

This is the third time we have been out with Sam. Not as many mackerel this time (previously had loads!) but still lots of fun and a really great experience. Would thoroughly recommend.

Easy online booking, the boat arrived at the jetty on time, skipper was brilliant... Friendly, knowledgeable and made sure all passengers were looked after. Kids thoroughly enjoyed themselves, got a bit of sunburn and caught a few fish. We all had a great time.

Great experience! Managed to catch the first mackerel of the boat trip which we could then take home and cook. Was fresh and delicious! Sam was very knowledgeable about the fish but also the local area so we learnt a lot whilst enjoying the thrill of catching fish! Highly recommend well worth it.
