Gift voucher questions
How much is a Christmas fishing gift voucher?
Each voucher is the 2027 whole-boat price of the trip: the sightseeing tour £200, the mackerel trip £250, the squid and cuttlefish trip £500, the 4-hour inshore trip £500, the 8-hour trip at anchor £650, the flatfish drift trip £700, the wreck fishing trip £800, the shark fishing trip £800. Rod hire (£10 per person) and bait (price on application) are not included on the fishing trips, except the shark trip, which includes fishing tackle.
Which trip should I choose for a gift voucher?
For first-timers and families, the 90-minute mackerel trip is the classic first trip, and the 1-hour sightseeing tour is a fishing-free option. The 3-hour squid and cuttlefish and 4-hour inshore trips are good next steps, and keen anglers will enjoy the 8-hour and 10-hour trips. If you are not sure, ask the booking team.
How do I buy a fishing trip gift voucher?
Send a request with the voucher request form, ring 07896 471691 (8am to 9pm, seven days a week) or email info@kestrelwarrior6.co.uk. The booking team takes payment over the phone by payment link or bank transfer; there is no online checkout on this website.
How will I receive the voucher?
The voucher is emailed to you as a PDF. It is numbered and recorded in our voucher register, ready for you to print or forward.
How long is the voucher valid?
Valid to book for 9 months from the date of issue. The trip must be booked within that time, and it can then take place on the date agreed with the booking team.
Is there a booking fee when the voucher is used?
No. Full payment is taken when the voucher is bought, so there is no booking fee or deposit to pay when the voucher is used.
What if your prices go up?
The price you pay is the price held, even if our prices change.
Can the voucher be exchanged for cash?
No. There is no cash redemption on the voucher: it is for the whole-boat trip named on it.
How many people can go on the trip?
It depends on the trip: 11 people on the sightseeing tour, 10 anglers on the mackerel, squid, 4-hour and 8-hour at-anchor trips, 8 anglers on the flatfish and wreck trips, and 6 anglers on the shark trip. The whole boat is theirs, so the price is the same however many go, up to that maximum.
What happens if the weather is bad on the day?
All charters are subject to suitable weather, and the skipper decides. If the skipper judges the weather unsafe, an alternative date is offered. Please call at 6:00 pm the night before to confirm the trip is going ahead.
