About Yarmouth

Yarmouth town is located on the North-West of the Isle of Wight, and acts as one of the gateways to the Island with one of the main ferry services operating from its harbour.

The historic port town sits at the mouth of the River Yar and contains some of the oldest architecture on the Isle of Wight, including a 16th Century castle. The harbour at Yarmouth is always very busy with both ferries and smaller boats, and the town itself offers a good variety of things to do for visitors.

The history of the town is very evident as you walk round and a trip along the Grade 2 listed pier is highly recommended for views across The Solent, and is also known locally for being a great spot for fishing.

Yarmouth Castle, which is tucked away to the side of the ferry dock, is also a great place for sea views and family picnics during the warmer months.

You and up to 3 other members will jump aboard Calypso along with a skipper and our experienced fisherman, Hamish.

Fuel, bait and all the equipment needed for the day will be provided by us along with master tips and tuition from Hamish. The cost for the day is £70 per person which includes breakfast baps and coffee before we set off and of course, all the equipment you will need to fish. 

We plan to have a briefing during breakfast outside the Café at 9.00am followed by a prompt departure at 9.30m. We expect to be back at Trafalgar Wharf by 5pm. We will be out on the water for the whole day so be sure to bring a packed lunch, plenty of water and sunscreen.

If you would like to join us on this fun day out fishing make sure you give us a call as soon as you can on 02392706599 or drop us an email info@boatclubtrafalgar.com
