RIPTIDE is an Aquabell 33 Sports Fisherman. This 33ft GRP vessel is powered by a 320hp Cummins 6 cylinder diesel engine and 5 blade prop, giving her a top speed of well over 20 knots, getting you to where you need to be fast and safe.
RIPTIDE offers fully enclosed seating, or a spacious deck area, so whatever your preference, she can deliver.
Fitted with GPS, fish finder and colour sounder, RIPTIDE can get you accurately to that wreck, with less time spent travelling and locating, you'll have more time to do what you came for, be it diving, fishing or surveying.

RIPTIDE is a coded vessel, and as such carries all the required safety equipment and more. V.H.F. Radio on board, with back up radios and aerials for safe measure, coupled to back up batteries for that extra piece of mind. Skippered by a fully trained first aider, and retired R.N.L.I. Senior Helmsman with many years experience of saving lives at sea.

Most experienced fisherman have, and prefer to use, their own gear whenever possible. If however you're on holiday and can't bring your own, or just want to try fishing before spending your hard earned on gear that may only be used once, we can supply the tackle for you. Just ring us with your requirements, and we'll get you sorted.
Fresh bait can be supplied to order.

The many public events at Whitehaven can be best viewed from afloat, aircraft displays, firework displays etc. We can if you prefer just take a leisurely cruise along the coast. The cliffs at St.Bees offer a superb bird sanctuary, and many hours of enjoyment can be had watching the birds going about their daily business. Fleswick Bay is an idyllic shingle beach, and in order to be fully appreciated, is best viewed from the sea, with St.Bees just beyond the headland, this can be a truly unique experience for those on holiday from inland locations.
