    Went out on 14th Sept one of the best fishing trips I've been on

    Skippers Reponse: Glad you enjoyed it, see you again soon

  • 5-star Chris Lees (03/07/2021)

    I’ve been on kingfisher many times and not once have I been disappointed with the trip or professionalism which comes with trip I would recommend the kingfisher to inexperienced as the people who go on help out and make fun

  • 1-star Dave Williamson (26/06/2021)

    We were told that pick up was 11 am, the boat arrived 10 minutes late. We were told that bait would be supplied, all that was available was frozen squid. The tackle supplied was far from acceptable as the rods were not only very old but all of them had multiple eyes missing. One person's rod had nothing between the reel and the tip eye. Several were missing the tip eye. The fishing was far from great in the area we anchored (mainly dogfish) but, unlike other skippers, the lad in charge didn't try to find better fishing, he just sat in the cabin eating. We set off back to shore earlier than expected and even though the lad in charge slowed down considerably as we approached shore, we were still back on the beach at 14:45, which when added to the late pick up, effectively made the 4 hour fishing trip 25 minutes shorter than it should have been. I was informed by someone on the boat that the normal skipper was on holiday and the lad in charge on this day was his son but he did nothing to make anyone want to return and no doubt caused reputational damage to his dad's business.

    Skippers Reponse: The boat was there at 11am. Its the rules to slow down as you come to the shore you don’t go flat out. I have not had anymore complaints and I have regulars that I have spoken to and I believe all you kept talking about was blue mink Charters so looks like you just came with us as you couldn’t get on blue mink

  • 5-star Colin Easton (10/08/2020)

    Excellent service, caught loads of fish (big ones)! Rays - smoothies - dogs - fatties. Had a brill day and will be booking again very soon. I would recommend this boat for a good days fishing.

    Skippers Reponse: I'm glad you had a great day. Hopefully see you again soon

  • 5-star andy sharrock (10/09/2013)

    experiance was good but no fish caught between 12 people out for 4 hours

    Skippers Reponse: Good group of lads but was a shame it was a windy day which we could not get out of the channel.
