We have recently purchased a blyth 33 catamaran powered by two 8.2litre doosan engines capable of cruising 16-18knts with a flat out speed over 23knts. the blyth catamaran is a fast modern boat comfortable both at anchor and under steam. 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.
WE ARE AVAILABLE TO TAKE BOOKINGS 7 DAYS A WEEKS 12 MONTHS OF THE YEAR
most trips run from 6.30-7.30am untill 16.30-17.30 at night although if you book the boat we can arrange times around you. we also offer night trips from 17.30-12.30am at night and evening trips in the river from 17.30-21.30 in the estuary. these are available upon request and we can arrange trips to suit your requirements.
we have hire tackle available with penn fixed spool reels at £10 per rod per day.

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

It was great to see the lads from plumbcity Braintree again the other day. The weather was gorgeous and the fishing was busy from the first cast. There were good numbers of hounds, some small tope, dogfish, rays and some nice bass. The only downside was being stuck with a load of plumbers but I suppose you can't have everything! Great to see the lads again and you are welcome anytime if you bring weather and fishing like that.

Sorry I've been quiet this week, I've been offshore most of the week and my phone gave up the ghost too.
Despite the unsettled weather we have managed to get our trips out and find a few fish as well. I lost a lot of pictures with my phone but we've seen some nice bass and hounds the last couple of days so I got a few pictures for you. Other species over the last few trips include thornback rays, tope, dogfish, whiting, dabs, pouting, plaice and even a Conger eel. I have availability for full boat bookings and individual spaces this week and next not all dates advertised.

Fishing Report by Scott Belbin

The summer fishing is now in full swing. The other day we started off catching bass on lures, then at anchor for the best of the tide and back on the lures on the way home. Rick was top rod with the anchored fishing with some nice hounds up the 13lb and a lovely bass. There were also whiting, dogfish, pouting, dabs and tope caught. All in all a pretty typical general trip for the time of year with pleasant weather and some decent fish.
I have spaces for tope trips and availability for full boat bookings and individual spaces over the next few weeks so please get in touch to join us. Not all dates advertised

Aside from the bass the hounds keep coming in too, some days there are lots of smaller fish other days the stamp can be great. As is the sport from these hard fighting fast fish which never disappoint. Although bass and hounds make up most of our catches on general trips there's still one or two rays, dogfish, whiting, dabs and other species mixed with them. Offshore we are mainly targeting tope and bass at the moment. I might put together a fatty trip if there's enough interest.
