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

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.

With several bass coming out and bathed in warm sunshine it was easy to forget we were fishing inshore at the end of October! As expected there were loads of whiting and dogfish to keep us busy but surprising numbers of bass for the time of year.
Of course there are far more bass offshore but it's nice to know we can still get one or two inshore. In fact we had caught bass on every trip since we've been back.
Next spaces are on Thursday then into next week.

As always it was great to see Jon and the lads the other day. Just over a week since I'd seen them last but this time it was in Essex chasing bass rather than Devon chasing tuna.
The fishing didn't disappoint and the lads had steady fishing with a mixed stamp of bass throughout the day. 10-15 bass each and some on lures too.
The weather wasn't bad either as you can see.
I've got spaces on general trips and offshore bass trips this week and beyond if you want to join us.

We've been very busy since our return from Devon and Cornwall. The offshore bass fishing hasn't disappointed and was definitely worth coming back for. We had a wild trip out there the other day and there were fish of all sizes coming out. We only fished the first mark until 12.30 and the lads had an average of 10 bass each and had achieved their bag limit of 2 keepers each within the first couple of hours.
Steve was on fire and had the biggest fish which went 8.3lb.
Inshore there's loads of life. Mostly dogfish and whiting to keep us busy but if you fish through them we've had a few bass here too along with thornback rays and even a conger eel.
I have availability for individuals and boat bookings over the coming weeks.
