Our family has been fishing the "waters that flow 'round Valentia" for over 50 years with skills and local knowledge passed through 3 generations of fishermen and seafarers.
We can't wait to be your guides to the Wild Atlantic of the Skellig Coast!
We are surrounded by some of the richest fishing grounds in Europe here on the Skellig Coast. Our guests regularly catch mackerel, wrasse, conger, ling, cod, squid, pollock, red blenny with basking sharks also making an occasional appearance.
We are located on the Skellig Coast of the Wild Atlantic Way in sight of the Skellig Islands. What better way to explore this unique part of the world than by boat? Discover the secrets of Valentia Harbour and the Iveragh peninsula, circumnavigate the Skelligs islands with their distinctive history and wildlife or take a voyage around the Blaskets and Dingle Harbour. We can customise an experience just for you and your group.
We may not always have perfect weather but there's plenty of great catches on the Skellig Coast around Valentia Island.
Whether you are a leisure or competitive angler, looking for a unique experience on your visit to Kerry or exploring your local area, we have something to suit you.
