LostPiker Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 Me and boat buddy want to have a go for sharks. Both want to do a couple of trips with an expert before we even consider doing it alone on our boat. I emailed a charter boat and was quoted £1,275 between 4 of us for a 12 hour trip. Is that the going rate? Any recommendations for a charter on the south coast? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy135 Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 South coast will probably only get you a (slim) chance of a thresher. If you head to the south west you'll have blues available, and more plentiful than round our way. That price seems high to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dicky Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 i would say around £800 would be average for a days sharking. i would go either West Wales or cornwall for a charter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willyhookit Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 ive no idea who you rung but he`s taking the -iss check out your local waters what shark species are you hoping to catch Blues Threshes Porgies mako`s ? what part of England do you live Cornwall as lots of venues that you could try off your own boat Shark Alley ( Boscastle ) Shennan Cove Port Issac to name a few Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odyssey Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 Bloody hell! Andy Truelove on Broadside charters is £170 per head out of west wales. Rob Rennie will be about £200 per head from Milford haven. That’s rod hire and chum all in for a 12+ hour trip. You’re getting a bit late to get places but Rob may have individual spaces left and is an excellent skipper. Dan Hawkins out of Ilfracombe on Reel Deal offers sharking trips, he has 2 boats and does well, he’s a bit cheaper at about £160 for a blue shark trip and should have dates still. These are guys I’d charter with no problem. Can’t comment on others as don’t know them well enough and others I do only take full boat charters. suzook12 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
