Skipper & boat
“I’ve spent all of my life fishing in the North Sea. For a number of years I fished out of Whitby harbour — and now I’ve relocated here to run my own boat, SeaSpray, full time.
My goal is simple: put you on the species you’re actually after, keep everyone safe, and make sure you go home with a day to talk about. Experienced wreck angler or complete novice — you’re welcome aboard.”
A hard maximum of eight anglers per trip — everyone gets deck space, and nobody's tangling lines all day.
Rods, reels and tackle included on half-day trips; quality hire gear at £5 on longer runs. Tackle and 12oz weights sold onboard.
Give us notice and your bait is collected at cost from Hook Line and Sinker, Whitby’s own tackle shop, ready on deck when you board.
Booking. Every trip is secured with a 25% deposit — the balance is payable on the day, cash or card. Departure and return times are confirmed with your booking.
Changes. Two weeks’ notice for a cancellation or date change. No-shows lose the deposit.
Weather. If the forecast rules the trip out, you choose — move to a new date or take a full refund of your deposit.
Timekeeping. Be on the quay 15 minutes before departure. The boat sails — and returns — on time.
