    Been on two trips now, each time was great. Had useful & helpful advice from the skipper. He correctly predicted what we would catch. I highly recommend this charter.

    Skippers Reponse: Thank you ever so much for the review Peter. Much appreciated. All the best Dan

    This was my first trip with Dan & Roger and it wont be my last. The facillities at Portland are excellent.fish Dan & Roger never stopped working for crew the whole day and Dan put us on time after time. As per the previous reveiw below, Dan,s bacon butties are a welcome warmer on a chilly morning. Any angler considering fishing in the Weymouth area should seriously consider crossing the causeway to Portland with the new modern facillities of showers, toilets and free parking to fish withFins Up. Dan works hard and he deserves all the support he gets

    This charter is run but three great lads Dan,Matt and Rodger myself and few other guys have been going out with them for the best part of two years.Yes ther are good days and bad days but between them they work tirelessly to find fish .It doesnt matter if your inshore or offshore wrecking they do their best for you.Plenty of hot drinks on the colder days and cold drinks on those rare warmer days ,even the odd bacon butty enroute to those further wrecks.When you find fish they are there with the net ready and Rodger is always keen to show off his knife skills for gutting and filleting.I have done and will continue to recomend these guys ,Its just a shame we cant get out more due to logistics.Roll on the next trip in Febuary which will no doubt be as enjoyable as all the others...Good guys!

    Dan is a really good skipper we always find some great fish

    A small group of us try to get out at least once a month and have used a few boats along the south coast, Fins-up has now become our regular choice due to the efforts Dan and the crew put in (usually Roger). It is ALWAYS a good day with plenty of banter and if any beginers are on they take them under there wing and help them out all day. Highly recommended

    A few of us try to get out at least once a month and Dan has now become our regular charter after using several others along the south coast. Can't fault the efforts him and his regular crew (usually Roger) put in into getting us onto the fish and keeping us well watered throughout the day. There a light hearted crew who's goal is to ensure you have a good day and not just to take your money and sit in the cab.

    Been using Fins up regularly for over 18 months now and every trip has been enjoyable,We went out on the 21st and headed out into a very cold wind but thankfully Dan and Roger supplied us with warm drinks to keep us warm, we headed out to the wrecks. Dan took us to a few wrecks and found some good sized double figure Pollack to keep us all happy,on the way back the fish were filleted for us.another excellent day from Dan and Roger and already looking forward to our next trip in February.

    Can't rate Fins Up highly enough! Dan put us on the fish all day. I had my PB pollack (20lb plus) in 2016 with him too. Friendly, helpful and the closest boat to the entrance at Portland Marina (so no long walks with kit). Free parking all day too! :)
