SALCOMBE FISHING FAQs
Can we bring our dog?
Well-behaved and small to medium-sized dogs are very welcome, but only if you the owner are 100% confident that they have sufficient experience in boats (having been in them before), will be well-behaved, and will not bark at other passengers or wildlife!
what is the minimum age for children?
For the family fishing trips in Salcombe there is no minimum age limit for children, if you are confident your child will be happy with the potential rock of the boat. We don’t go out when it’s rough, but we would also prefer not to have to turn back if a child suffers from seasickness for the sake of the other paying passengers on the boat. NB If you are bringing a baby they class as a paying passenger.
WHAT HAPPENS IF THE WEATHER IS BAD?
We do not take passengers in rough conditions. If the weather is wet and windy there is usually somewhere we can go and fish in between Bolthead and the mouth of Salcombe Harbour which is sheltered, we just recommend wearing the correct clothing. But if the weather is really awful we will cancel all trips, and try and move your booking to a different date. Please note: WE DO NOT CHARGE YOUR CARD UNTIL WE ARE 100% CONFIDENT YOUR TRIP WILL GO AHEAD. If you chose to pay by BACS we can of course refund you the same way within 24hrs.
CAN I COME IF I’M A TOTAL BEGINNER?
Absolutely! For us all at Salcombe Fishing, you are the main reason we do it, to teach you the right techniques and see the joy on your face when you catch your first fish!
can we book the boat exclusively and sightsee instead of fish?
Yes you can! A few of our guests just want to go for a lovely boat trip around the coast with a picnic, and on a sunny day, what could be better?!
CONFIRMED TRIPS CAN ONLY BE CANCELLED OR MOVED AT SHORT NOTICE (24HRS) DUE TO BAD WEATHER.
