Weymouth Fishing Trips
Throughout the spring and summer we run 4 hour fishing trips from Weymouth Harbour. These half day trips are perfect for complete beginners, families or those that don’t want to be at sea for the whole day. Fishing trips are great fun and the perfect activity to enjoy during your holiday in Weymouth. Take in views of the Jurassic Coast as you try and catch your personal best!
During the trip we target a range of species, depending on the conditions and tide. We regularly catch dog fish, pout, rays, conger eels, gurnards and more.

FAQs
What does a 4 hour fishing trip involve?
We will enjoy a leisurely steam down Weymouth harbour before heading out into the bay. We’ll then make our way to the perfect place to drop anchor – here you can take in views of the surrounding coastline.
After setting up the rods and reels, one of our team will give you a brief demo to get you started. They’ll be there to support you throughout the trip. They will help you bait your hooks, land your fish and take photos of your catch!
What is included in the trip?
Fishing rods, reels, tackle and bait are all included in the price of the ticket.
What happens if the weather is bad?
We still operate in the rain, please bring waterproof clothing. If it is too windy to go to sea, the trip will be cancelled the evening before. We will try to sort an alternative date. If this is not possible a full refund will be given.
What is your cancellation policy?
If we deem the weather unsuitable for a Half Day Fishing Trip on Amarisa or the minimum passenger number has not been met, the trip will be cancelled with as much prior notice as possible. You will usually be contacted the evening before when we have access to the latest weather report – typically after 6pm.
You will be contacted on the phone number/email address provided at the time of booking to try and arrange alternate dates. If we are unable to agree upon a mutually suitable date and transfer your booking, you will receive a cancellation email (please keep an eye on your junk mail folder) and full refund of any money paid. This can take up to 10 working days.
If you (the customer) would like to cancel a Half Day Fishing Trip a full refund will be given up until 72 hours prior to the trip commencing. To cancel please click the ‘view booking’ button in your confirmation email and follow the instructions. It is also possible to transfer your booking to another date up until 72 hours before your trip. No refund will be given for cancellations that occur less than 72 hours before your trip.
Where do we meet you?
Meet us on the pontoon, next to our boat Amarisa – we are moored beneath the Sailors Return pub, next to Cosens Quay Car Park (Commercial Rd, Weymouth DT4 8AQ).
When walking to the boat, please use the ramp rather than the ladders. Advance booking is essential, please do not just turn up on the day.
How do we book the whole boat?
You can book the whole boat for the exclusive use of your group. To do so, find your chosen date on our booking system and book all 12 spaces. If there are less than 12 spaces available, there are already others booked on the trip.
Are dogs allowed?
Well behaved dogs are welcome with prior permission from the skipper. Please note, this is a fishing trip, so there are hooks, tackle and bait on the boat. It can also be noisy and hot in the summer with little in the way of shade. If you decide to bring a dog it will be your responsibility for the entirety of the trip. We cannot take responsibility for your dog.
What happens if we’re running late for the trip?
Please arrive 15 minutes early for your trip – we run our trips back to back so it’s essential that you’re there on time. We are unable to wait for guests that are running late and we will leave without you. If you are not there on time, a refund will not be given.
Weymouth gets very busy, especially in the summer months. Leave yourself plenty of time for traffic and parking.
Is there a toilet on board?
Yes there is a toilet on board Amarisa.
How do I book the whole boat?
You can book the whole boat for the exclusive use of your group. To do so, find your chosen date on our booking system and book all 12 spaces. If there are less than 12 spaces available, there are already others booked on the trip.
What clothes do I need to wear?
Always bring a jumper, even in the summer – it can get cold at sea. We encourage you to bring a hat, suncream, sunglasses and waterproof jacket. Please do not wear your best clothes!
Is the trip suitable for kids?
