About
One hour mackerel fishing trips leave Lyme Regis harbour all day long.Adults £15 Children £10.Come and catch your supper whilst cruising along the Jurassic Coast.Also available are three hour deep sea fishing trips from 8.30 to 11.30am,£45 for adults and £30 for children including rod and bait. People absolutely love these trips and its quite possible to have your catch cooked for you on your return to the harbour. Herbies will cook your catch for you , £6 your fish and their chips. The fish is cooked on the griddle and because its so fresh tastes delicious, Herbies is four minutes walk from the boat. Please make sure you ask the skipper well before the end of the trip that you would like your fish cooked for you and he will prepare it and remove all the bones. Sound like a good idea?

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Well where do you start.
This was my first time ever fishing but not my wife's.
Harry....what a lovely bloke and really knows his stuff.
Harry took just me and my wife out for an hr.
We caught 9 fish ( 7 x Garfish & 2 Mackerel) not bad for an hr and one 1st timer.
Harry was really excited about the 7 Garfish which was great from our perspective, he said he had only had 1 other all season, seeing Harry excited and enjoying the day as much as us was really nice.
He will uit the fish for you and direct you to a chippy that will fry them for you.
Overall a great experience with a great teacher and person, can't recommend him Highley enough.
Will be recommending Harry to friends family visiting the area.
Thank you Harry.

Another absolutely stunning deep sea fishing outing - amazing experience with wonderful scenic views
Bonus was an amazing catch - Mackerel, Bream, Gurnard … you can’t always guarantee to be that lucky but we really were super fortunate! Really lovely boat banter and relaxed atmosphere for even the newest folks to fishing !

Great trip. Caught one of the biggest Conga eels Harry has ever seen!
We have used Harry several times and he never lets us down. My son caught his 1st fish ever and will remember it forever. All the kids and friends thoroughly enjoyed the morning. Will definitely go again! Highly recommend it!!

What a great way to spend some of your day! Caught a few fish which we really enjoyed eating back at our cottage. Great banter on the boat, good fun and fantastic views of the bay and Jurassic coastline. Thanks to the captain.

It was a brilliant experience for the whole family, even though I was terrified our skipper chatted to me calming me down, the kids had a brilliant time catching the mackerel which we got to take home for dinner!

Lovely trip on a beautiful day. Ten passengers on board with five lines. Only one fish caught in total but the kids had fun anyway and I enjoyed the views of the Jurassic coast.

My 11yo son and I went on a deep sea fishing trip on the Sunbeam, it was brilliant, the skipper was friendly, knowledgeable and really patient with us (it was our first experience of sea fishing). We caught lots of fish including a conger eel, learnt lots about the local species & shipwrecks and we had a delicious fish dinner at the end of the day. It was a perfect introduction to sea fishing and we both had a fantastic time.

It had the makings of a good trip. BUT…….
No mackerel!!!!
Very disappointed children.
Nice man who took us out but even he was saying that after 50 years of being involved in the fishing industry, he was going to change to giving scenic boat rides.
Our question ……why keep taking peoples money calling it a mackerel fishing trip when there are no mackerel ?

We booked this trip for 11 of us for an hour and had a fantastic experience. We managed to catch 25 mackerel which enabled us to cook it on the barbeque for lunch the next day. We found it to be excellent value for money. Harry was lovely, very accommodating and we would definitely do this again.
We also found that this trip was one of our highlights of our holiday and we would definitely do it again... But only with Harry!
