Harry May provides a memorable fishing trips on his charming locally built timber boat. Informative, courteous and with a wealth of local knowledge, the experience makes for a great family morning out. Not only does he provide the rods and bait but he offers to gut and fillet some of your catches for you! An ample breakfast at the Beachouse... More

He was ready and waiting for us at the appointed time and we shared our trip with two... More

Well John thank you very much for that review, it was a day to remember, the kind of day all anglers and boatmen hope for, perfect flat calm conditions, bright sunshine, great company and loads of fish. We have had a pretty awful autumn, too much wind and heavy seas and ,of course, far too many cancelled trips but it... More

I wanted to go but the misses didn't, I talked her into it and she had a fantastic time as did I. Harry was a gent and clearly knew and loved his job. Give it a go, I would recommend it to anyone.

We spent a couple of hours with Harry a dull Monday in October and what a great way to do it! Harry is clearly an very experienced and knowlegeable skipper (within 10 minutes the mackerel were throwing themselves onto the hooks!) and tremendously entertaining with it. To cap it all, he expertly filleted the fish for us. Highly recommended.

Booked Harry's boat with friends for some mackerel fishing. On the day he even phoned to ask if we still wanted to go out because it was drizzling - what service. We went out anyway and the rain soon stopped. Good fishing - we caught enough fish for our lunch later - and excellent skipper; his local knowledge is excellent.... More

Returning to Lyme Regis on a dull, damp October day I took another fishing trip with Harry May, this time a 1 hour mackerel fishing expedition. The first fish struck within 2 minutes of my line going in and I ended up with a total of 10, all of a good size. They were swimming around at 10am in my... More
