We got to see a seal and dolphins which they did tell us before we set off there was a chance of seeing nothing. The only down point is that the trip only lasted an hour. read less

Our skipper Brendan was very friendly and helpful (putting our autistic son at ease from the moment he met him). We are a family of 5 and every one of us loved the trip. Thank you. read less

We decided on Funfish Trips after reading many 5* reviews & their experiences. We booked online for the Mackerel Fishing Trip from Torquay at 4pm which is a 2 hour excursion. The harbour was just a 10-15 min walk from our hotel. We arrived early & spoke to Dan at the kiosk who pointed out where we’d need to board our boat from when it was our time slot. He was very helpful. We had a walk around the harbour area before going to our designated area to wait. There were no issues with boarding after we’d shown our booking on my phone. We found both Dan & Alden our boats skipper were very professional, but in a fun way prior to leaving. We had a brief safety talk to run through where everything is located should we need them in an emergency. This was delivered with humour, so both my children paid attention. They are 11 & 9, so I appreciated Alden wasn’t boring . We were given instructions on how to use the fishing equipment once we we’d stopped the engine out at sea. I have never touched a fishing rod prior to this trip & had just planned to watch my partner & son with our daughter as she didn’t want... Today was the first day of our family holiday in Torquay.

We had a brief safety talk to run through where everything is located should we need them in an emergency. This was delivered with humour, so both my children paid attention. They are 11 & 9, so I appreciated Alden wasn’t boring . We were given instructions on how to use the fishing equipment once we we’d stopped the engine out at sea. I have never touched a fishing rod prior to this trip & had just planned to watch my partner & son with our daughter as she didn’t want to fish, just be on the boat. I had a issue with my rod initially, which Alden quickly fixed. My son was elated he caught the first fish of our trip. I’d expected to actually fish maybe 10-15 minutes, but I lasted the entire trip, during which time we drifted, meaning loads of sea is covered, not anchored in one spot. My daughter helped reel the rod in a few times, so did help here & there. Shockingly, I did catch a fish even though I was rubbish & my other half was laughing at me lots . Another passenger helped release my fish back to the sea as he was next to me & had caught lots at this point. Alden was all over the boat helping lots of our party do various things & sorting out the equipment if anyone struggled. He told us sea related jokes that are suitable for young ears & are not offensive. He also sang a silly song to the tune of ‘wheels on the bus’ but changed to ‘boat’ instead. My daughter thought this was hilarious & giggled throughout. She continued singing it when we went for a meal out afterwards she liked it so much .

Overall, you can’t beat quality family time doing activities together. As a novice, I enjoyed the trip very much, same for my daughter as mostly a passenger watching everything. My partner & son who love to go river fishing at home (totally different), throughly enjoyed the whole trip. We all laughed loads all afternoon & although Alden maybe young for a skipper, it is clear he knows his stuff & couldn’t of been more helpful. Thank you for a memorable experience, from the Jones family . More read less

We caught more than what we needed and put back most of what we caught. Nothing went to waste and this was great to see.

We also stopped briefly on the way out to see one of the harbour seals that had hauled itself out of the water so we could take some photos.

Staff on the boat were friendly and helpful, especially to the movie anglers on board. Will definitely use again! read less

Coming from a town with a rich fishing heritage I know the difference between a family run, fish in the blood charter to a corporate cash cow and this charter is the highest of the order, Bill and his Mate were simply amazing on our day out.

Put us on the fish, kept us entertained and even turned the boat around when my £600 drone had a software failure and nearly went for a swim!

Freezer full of fish for winter bait and we shall be returning often to fish with these guys.

Thank you. read less
