How much does it cost to hire Kelley's Hero Charter Service?

These are our general prices. Please keep a look out for our offers. We have had to increase our prices due to the increase in running costs. If anglers would like a full boat booking of 10, then they would need to contact us first.

INSHORE

We generally fish up to 12 miles offshore on these days. What you can catch depends on the time of year. These are the most common trips for beginners. If you would like to know what you might catch, please ask when booking your trip, or message before. The price for the boat is based on up to 8 anglers. These trips are 9 hours long and tend to start around 8am.

WRECKING

Our wrecking trips are fished generally between 25 and 50 miles offshore. We tend to catch pollack, and at certain times of the year you will see cod and bass on the wrecks too. On wrecking trips, you travel for around 2–3 hours to get there and when you are fishing you are winding up and down all day long and stood at the rail. On our wrecking trips we would prefer for you to have no more than 8 anglers, as this makes your day and ours a lot easier and more comfortable. These trips are 12 hours long and tend to start at around 7am.

The trip is 12 hours long and tends to start at around 7am.
