“We’ve been on three mackerel fishing trips with Plymouth Boat Trips now and each one has been an excellent experience. Booking is always straightforward, and our skipper Julian is always super helpful, giving tips where needed and finding the shoals, it’s clear he knows the area well and respects the wildlife. Definitely a service we’d recommend and will definitely use again.”

Xavier Stow – Ocean Conservation Trust

“What an unforgettable experience! Personally, my favourite trips are the themed party nights. Massive shout out to the amazing staff, who are super friendly, well organised, and always on hand to keep the good times rolling whilst making all on board feel safe, And the DJ? Absolutely smashed it, kept us dancing non-stop.”
