Mackerel Fishing – Departing Brixham

Perfect family time. 6 people, 40 makrels in less than two hours.

We were amazingly lucky to have one of the sea lions (Nelson) come to greet us at the side of boat as we got on. A lucky treat. Fabulously chatty Captain and crew. Booked on line the day before, was nice and easy. As a special birthday treat my daughter who turned 7 was able to drive the boat (long enough for a photo op) Would definitely do the trip again as it has been one of the best value for money things that we have done on this trip. Just don’t listen to the ferry boat staff telling you not to go on the pier when you can see the boat and it’s due to leave any minute. More read less

Normally the trips are not running at this time as they are out of season, but we paid £65 to take our family of four out.

We were very lucky with the weather. It was a glorious warm and sunny day.

We left from Brixham Harbour and travelled out to the other side of Torbay, near Paignton.

Well, what a fantastic day we had. The kids absolutely loved it! It started brilliantly by seeing four seals as we were leaving Brixham Harbour.... A great start. Then were lucky enough to catch 14 Mackerel, which we took back with us to eat! The host John was fabulous with the kids. He even let them steer the boat for a few minutes on the way back, which absolutely made their day.

Highly recommended. More read less

Sea lions, dolphins, cormorants, (wild life not guaranteed)but without the wildlife this would still be a lovely boat ride. The two lads were helpful(old lady getting on and off) fun and pleasant, well worth the money. read less

Went on a lovely shore trip & saw a sea lion, seal & heron! It wouldn’t have mattered if we hadn’t seen anything, our lovely capt stopped at several points & told us about the area & some history facts!

It was lovely trip, He was a lovely guy, really experienced made us feel at ease, the girls got to go in the front of the boat which they loved! We had 3 families on the boat & a dog!

Would highly recommend this business if your in the area!!! read less

Booking was easy and the team organised and friendly. Prices were very reasonable. We felt safe on a well equipped boat. We learnt some history about Brixham from our very experienced crew. We were made to feel very welcome and our skipper was genuinely pleased when we landed our mackerel. They were super scrummmy on a BBQ. My children had a healthy day out on the water learning new skills and want to go again. Thanks. read less

Lovely weather, good company, skipper welcominging, did not catch any mackerel but that's the luck of the draw when it comes to fishing. Could sell drinks on board for hot weather. We fetched our own but a few had not. Thanks for a good trip read less
