Ocean Odyssey is 10m Cougar Catamaran giving a spacious deck and great sea keeping. She is coded to Cat 2 (60NM from a safe haven day or night) 10 passengers plus 2 crew. She is powered by twin 300hp Yamaha outboards so has a decent turn of speed. Our typical cruising speed is 20knts+ More speed means less travel time and therefore more fishing.

With a 60NM code of practice we can operate all over the Bristol channel and far offshore from west wales to get try and make the most of the some of the finest fishing in Wales.

ROUND UP
It's been a busy year for Odyssey Sea Adventures. We’ve had some great captures, contributions to science swabbing and tagging programs, a new skipper, a new boat and a PB for me!
The fishing in West Wales still never fails to amaze. The reefs offer an abundance of fish of many different species. Some superb pollack fishing was had from March-November, with excellent numbers of fish up to double figures including a bonus tope on SPJ gear! I got in on the action, finally catching my reef nemesis, a beautifully coloured cuckoo wrasse.
With a keen interest in marine life, this year, it was a privilege to spend time with likeminded people in the shark science world. We took more than 30 DNA samples and tagged over 150 blues for Pat Smith and NOAA. The highlight for me had to be the multiple 200lb+ blues caught over the course of the season. We even had tuna deciding to join in on the sharking action so coercing them to the boat on light sharking gear was great fun.
The later half of the year proved to us that the numbers of tuna in the waters of the Celtic Deep has increased so the chance of Tuna, Blues and Porbeagles on the same day is possible. The best of the year was circa 800lb and another 5 over the 500lb mark. To hook up these monsters both on dedicated tuna trips and on our mixed trips. It provides further evidence just how world class the fishing is off the west coast of Wales.
On a personal level, the most exciting part was to see Emma complete the qualifications for her commercial endorsement. I'm super proud to see her on the helm, running trips on Odyssey single handed as well leading the charge on our new addition, Ocean Odyssey with me as crew for shark trips. It can be a male dominated profession but that hasn’t stopped her in the slightest! It also allows me more chances to get few trips on the SPJ gear too!
As we look forward to 2025, we hope for more of the same with a few extras! We will continue to offer a wider range of trips with a greater number of available dates, including some dedicated wildlife trips to make the most of our amazing encounters with whales, dolphins, gannets, porpoises, puffins, the list is long! We will continue to support the scientific community with more tagging and swabbing of sharks where possible.
Overall, we are looking forward to getting back out on the water and making memories with all our customers! -

Over the past few weeks the tuna fishing has really switched on in West Wales. We have been targetting these fish when we are out sharking, often stopping for a go on the way home from a days sharking. This has allowed us to enjoy some of the excellent sharking as a warm up before getting arms aching with a BFT on the line to end the day!
We have managed to locate the fish on multiple trips and its multiple fish per day. Best fish so far is a 105inch beast so in the 700-800lb classs.
As the autumn approaches we will be move to target these fish on dedicated trips, especially as the blue sharks will start to move away in a few weeks time. We have a limited number of dates left for the season so if you want a chance to tussle with a welsh sea monster drop us a line.
More photos and videos can be found on our facebook page and instagram. -

Welsh Tuna 2024
We are pleased to say that we will be once again be able to legally target bluefin tuna from welsh waters. We are awaiting full details but we will be looking to offer both dedicated tuna trips as well as a mix of shark and tuna comb trips in addition to our schedule of shark trips.
Please drop us a line to discuss your needs and we will do our best to accommodate!
Please note our tuna and shark trips are strictly catch and release. We are involved in tagging programs for both species and are actively contributing to the pat smith database to collect data on shark movements as well as tagging any tuna for ICAAT. -

Blue sharks are now around in good numbers.
Best blue is 200lb for the season so far, plenty of ton up fish around too.
The reefs continue to offer excellent sport for pollack, wrasse, mackerel, coalfish and a few cod as well. -

We are now running 2 boats.
We have the existing Odyssey (a lovely Evolution 30) as well as a 10m Cougar Catamaran.
Both boats are coded for same operating range. As a husband and wife team Emma or Luke will be your skipper for the day. If you see a date your interested in is booked on one boat, feel free to drop a line as the other boat maybe free.
Both Emma and Luke are both fully commercially endorsed skippers, we are all fully insured and both boats comply with the MCA regulations and are coded by the YDSA coding agency.
