Catering for Groups and Individuals, The Blue Pointer works out of the Helford River in West Cornwall; with pick-ups available from both sides of the river, the boat is convenient from Falmouth and the Lizard. We are a 10 minute drive from Falmouth and are the closest proper port to the Lizard. An Aquastar 33′, she’s a heavy built boat and very seaworthy.
Unlike many of the modern “dory style” hulls, her greater draught makes her a very safe vessel. The high sides and handrails mean that fishers feel well enclosed and not in danger of falling in. The side height is particularly important for smaller fisherpeople!
Needless to say, the boat is equipped with all the gear needed for your safety and to find and catch fish and we don’t charge for either rod hire or tackle use. We have light rods for inshore fishing, conger poles for heavy wreck-fish and spinning/float gear for bass. Feel free to bring your own but don’t panic if you havent got any; all the gear is decent and all reels are loaded with braid.
Dan skippers the Blue Pointer and owns it with his wife Penny. He is fishing obsessed and gets itchy after three days of not going to sea. He tries to keep the atmosphere on the boat as relaxed as possible (safey first) and wants everyone to feel part of the crew. He has made many good friends in the years he’s run the boat and has crews come down from as far afield as Newcastle just for a few days fishing every year. Whatever you want to fish for, Dan will do his best.
Dan loves taking experienced, self-contained groups out and if everyone’s happy he never misses the opportunity to pick up a rod, but he is every bit as happy to see newcomers to the sport and wants to make sure that your first experience is a good one. Anyone can catch a great fish with the right gear and a bit of luck.
