Amazing fishing experience

Our group of friends has an awesome time fishing with Skipper Mike and The Red Boats. We took home 12 fish after 3 hours of fishing and it was our first time fishing. We recommend the pilchard bait from Sailors Supplies near Pier Z where the boat departs.

Evening Fishing

I'm disappointed that there was too much cruising and very little time for fishing. I think fishing should be focused close to the harbour for short fishing trips

Fishless fishing

Inexperienced vessel captain and crew. Spent most of the day traveling from spot to spot with minimal fishing time catching under sized fish. The crew prioritizing their own fishing spots on the vessel with little respect for paying customers. I don't recommend this service.
