What to bring on your fishing trip

The sea is unpredictable, so dress for the day and bring what you need. We provide the fishing kit.

In short

Bring warm layers and waterproofs, non-slip shoes, food and drink, sun protection and any medication. Arrive 20 minutes before departure. We provide rods, tackle advice and tuition.

What to wear

Layers: it is cooler at sea than ashore, even in summer
A waterproof jacket and trousers
Non-slip, closed shoes or boots
A hat, and gloves in winter
Sunglasses and sun cream in summer

Please make sure you bring adequate clothing, as the sea is unpredictable.

Frequently asked questions

Should I bring my own rod?

You do not need to. Rods and rigs are provided and rod hire is £10 per person. Anglers who prefer their own gear should check with the booking team first.

Can I bring GPS?

Personal GPS units are not allowed on the boat and may be held until the end of the trip, as set out in the terms.
