She has some indoor seating a toilet accessible at deck level and spray cover to keep you drier and more comfortable. we have a live well on deck and seating for more than 10 people on deck.
with a beam of 5 meters there is loads of deck room even with 10 anglers on board.

I have fished since I could hold a rod and grew up aboard my dads charter boats in the 90's. as I got older I took my Orkney longliner out and my dads boats when I got the chance. I am obsessed with fishing I have no other real hobbies and just about any free time I have is devoted to fishing related activities. This may sound abit sad but as I enjoy all kinds of fishing I have little time for anything else. My real passion is for sea angling but if I had more time I would like to spend a little more time fresh water fishing aswell.the first 'galloper' was bought by myself and my dad back in 2007.she was a brinkliner 28 and kept me busy for a couple of years. My wife stacey and i bought the second 'Galloper' back in march 2009 she was an aquastar 33 and we ran her untill 2013 when we bought our evolution 33 also named 'galloper' and the evolution did very well over the next six and a half years.
early in 2019 we bought a blyth 33 and spent 10 months completely overhauling her to bring her up to the standard we like to give our customers. the bltyh catamaran is a vary stable and spacios platform which is very popular with the anglers for her speed, room and stability.
i look forward to many good trips aboard her over the coming years. Although I'm only in my 30'sI have plenty of experience as a skipper as before all of this i was running my dads boats since I got my Yachtmasters Offshore licence when I was 17. before that I was taking his boat out with my grandad or brothers or friends whenever I could. I like to think that all of this along with many holidays spent fishing other venues has helped to give me a large amount of experience and knowledge for my age.

Excellent Skipper went with two non fisherman friends and he could not do enough to help them, which let me get on with my fishing. Mind you think I should have got some help as they caught more than me.
Skippers Reponse: i'm glad you enjoyed your day Greg. thank you for taking the time to review your experience. best leave the others behind next time!!

Fishing Report by Scott Belbin
18 Nov 2024 by Scott Belbin
Managed to sneak out with Jons group the other day. It was back on the bait fishing for bass and although conditions were far from perfect we managed some nice fish. Jon was top rod with 10-15 bass (I didn't keep count) and the biggest one going over 4lb. We had whiting, hounds and dogfish too. Hopefully we can manage a few more days on the bass before the weather turns too much they go.
I have spaces this weekend and midweek next week if you are interested.

Fishing Report by Scott Belbin
15 Nov 2024 by Scott Belbin
Still steady numbers of bass coming out lately. We were on the lures and the fish were there but the lads had to work for them. Stephen Clarke couldn't put a foot wrong and caught far more than his fair share. There's not always rhyme or reason to why one rod outfishes the other. that was certainly the case as the fish trashed Stephens lures and he was forced to change from one colour or type of lure to another.
We had a move later in the day where Steve canham picked up the best fish of the day.
It wasn't all bass and over the course of a few trips we saw mackerel, pouting, gurnard, weavers and even plaice mixed in our catches.
For the bass fishing we are back on the bait fishing for a bit and hopefully the weather permits us to get out and enjoy the last few weeks of the season before the cold sets in.

Young Stanley has been out slaying the bass with us again. I think he was even top rod the other day. Its always great spending time with him and even better that he's so keen on catching fish.
He did let the lads catch a few bass too and of course there's still been plenty out there to catch of late. Hopefully it doesn't go too cold and we should keep getting them until the end of the month at least. Inshore there's loads of life too. Mostly whiting and dogfish and apparently heaps of dabs.
I've got spaces this coming Sunday and Monday currently. Possibly offshore Sunday if weather permits.

It's always nice to see Tony and the lads and they had a great day on the bass the other day. There was a mixed stamp of fish coming out but some decent ones among them. The lads had 10-15 each and a few other bits and bobs too such as whiting and dogfish in between the bass. It might not be what we traditionally expect but who can knock fishing like this in November?
I have spaces over the next few weeks for groups and individuals for bass and general trips. Not all dates advertised.

We've been making the most of the weather and getting lots of offshore bass fishing in. The fishing hasn't disappointed at all with plenty of mackerel for lives when we need them. Lots of tub gurnard showing and of course the bass too. There were some decent fish on lives and then a really hectic time on lures to end the day. Stanley was pleased with his colourful gurnards to start with before the bass. It was nice to see him catch some bass on lures after pestering me for ages to use them. He's not doing too badly for 3 years of age. Most of the lads were catching a fish a drop towards the end so god knows what the final tally of bass was. Hopefully we get a good few more trips off there over the next few weeks.
