A day fishing with Smithy’s Charters began over 20 years ago with the objective being to only take a maximum of two people to ensure that all clients receive personalised attention.
With the growing demand for my charters and the reputation that it has acquired I also offer a larger vessel that can comfortably cater for five people with two alternating hand chosen personally trained skippers. This boat caters for small groups and families that are looking for a great day on the water while still maintaining our objective and that is to guarantee that you catch fish and learn the skills on how to get the most out of this wonderful sport.
