Reel Deal charters

Absolutely fantastic trips. Been out several times and each time caught a variety of species. Both Dan and Archie are really friendly and helpful even when I kept getting caught on the bottom!! Complete novice so needed a lot of help and they are very patient. Want to try the Tuna or Shark next.

Both Dan and Archie are great skippers, always put you on the fish .

Had the privilege of being gifted a sharking trip with Dan and Archie aboard Reel Deal for my birthday and the whole trip start to finish was incredible. All 4 of us aboard landed a shark, the boat is spacious and comfortable. Dan and Archie are fantastic, very knowledgable and had us laughing start to finish. The trip is talked about very highly!

Having fished on boats in lots of locations here and abroad I believe Dan is up there with the best. Its personal to him, he wants you to have the best day. Having landed 4 tuna it still wasn't enough, everything back on board a 30 min race across to another mark to try for another bite when it would of been easier to say that was it.

What a privilege and pleasure to fish with Dan on Reel Deal, we had the trip of a lifetime! Dan has a wealth of experience and knowledge on fishing tactics, tackle/rigs, productive marks and weather systems and their impact on sea conditions and fishing. Also lots of helpful advice especially when playing lively big fish. The boat, Reel Deal is amazing, a really stable fishing platform, loads of room and shelter and very fast indeed. Dan has a great sense of humour and makes an excellent cup of tea, if you get chance to drink it

Fishing with Dan is a real pleasure. Dan will always uses his wealth of knowledge and experience to put you on the fish whichever type of fishing your on. Can't do enough to help out. Highly recommended, and well thought of amongst fellow anglers..

Been fishing with Dan for years now, its a funny thing - but being out with him on Reel Deal a lot, you forget that its a good thing to let others know why sometimes.Lets start with Dan.I have been obsessed with fishing for 35 years, its my therapy :)There are only a handful of boats in the UK that I will happily spend my limited funds on being aboard.Dan's boat is one of them.From the first trip to the last, he puts tremendous effort in getting you on the fish.A lot of skippers either don't know how to find the fish, or don't care enough to try.Apart from him being a fish magnet - he is one of the funniest,hard working and most helpful skippers you could wish to meet.That goes a long way to making each trip a real pleasure and why I look forward to every charter, even the odd bad days fishing is made up for with banter, hot coffee and laughter.Secondly, the boat -Must be one of the most stable, seaworthy, fast and well equipped boats in the UK.Always immaculately maintained, state of the art navigation and sonar, 650hp of brand new engines - a flying fishing machine.I feel blessed we have her and Dan in my little home port, if you are looking for a Charter Boat to book - this is it.Through the summer holidays, you can book and jump on for mixed/general fishing and catch a plethora of species we have in the Bristol Channel.If you are looking to book outside of the Summer Holidays, and are after a specific days fishing for Bass, Tope or even UK big game species - give him a ring/message and see what is on offer.You will be blown away :)

Dan and his crew are without doubt one of the most helpful skippers about. I have had the pleasure of fish on all of his boats and he has every time put us on the fish. Dan and Archie both do a great job and if this is something you enjoy doing give Dan a call you will not be disappointed at all and will want more.

I can’t say enough good things about the Reel Deal team Dan always put his heart and soul into his clients catching fish ! He will take you to any spot where the fish are no matter how far he has to go Best skipper I’ve fished with but Archie is catching him up ! thanks for all the great fishing trips cheers Nick
