The UK's premier self-drive fishing boat charter
Spending a day afloat in your own boat is extremely rewarding. You can choose who comes, where you fish, how long for and what type of fishing you want to do. Maybe you want to spend the day catching mackerel with the family, or fly-fishing for bass, anchored up or drifting over the wrecks. It matters not...you can choose.
Unfortunately owning your own boat is an expensive and time consuming business. Do you pay marina fees or go for a trailer boat? Either way it costs money. What about the maintenance and cleaning? Antifouling every year, engine servicing, polishing and scrubbing........the list goes on and nothing is cheap. Whilst boat ownership can be great fun, unless you have you have the time and finances to make it work it soon becomes a grind.
So why not hire? 'Bare-boat' chartering is common in the yachting world but until recently options for the angler were non-existent. Now you can enjoy using a top-quality boat for the day, bring her back and walk away! Even if you charter the boat every weekend, it will be cheaper than buying your own!
To offer this service we looked for a high-quality boat that was safe, designed for anglers and was easy to operate. We settled on the Arvor 230AS which can accommodate up to 6 anglers. Powered by a 150hp VW diesel engine she has a large deck space, 'walk-around' access to the anchor, a comfortable 'stand-up' wheelhouse/cabin, fresh water and a sea-toilet. With a full electronics package and high-quality safety equipment, all you need to bring is your tackle and yourself. We can even supply the tackle and bait if required!
We operate from Queen Anne's Battery Marina in Plymouth, Devon. Easily accessible, the marina has an on-site bar, restaurant and a cafe and nearby there are lots of shops and things to do including The National Aquarium. For further information please click on the links.
