FISHING TRIPS IN ST IVES
Our fishing trips are some of the very best in the UK with our location in here in St Ives Cornwall being a hot spot for all species of fish from the Giant Bluefin Tuna down to the small colourful many species of wrasse along with the very plenty full mackerel.
Our experience comes from a life long family passion for sea fishing and a knowledge base going back from shore fishing as a child.
The family run business has Dad (Sam) skippering Bluefin and Son (Lewis) skippering Yellowfin with Mum (Danielle) taking the bookings and running the day to day diary and schedule.
BLUEFIN’s trips start for the experienced angler who wants to target those big special fish including Bluefin Tuna, Porbeagle & Blue sharks (all tuna and sharks are tagged and released) right down to the family friendly and no experience needed 4 hour wreck and reef trips for Cod, Pollock, Ling, John Dory and Bass etc.
YELLOWFIN’s very popular Mackerel trips are a great introduction to sea fishing and also a great Cornish family holiday tradition which dates way way back.
These trips are great fun for young children and are only 1 hour 30 minutes.
All top of range tackle provided by our sponsors Shimano and you get to keep all your catch.
boat trips to Seal Island and Godrevy lighthouse
This boat trip is our most popular and a great trip if you’re visiting St Ives for the day when time is valuable.
The 1 hour boat trip to visit our resident Grey Atlantic Seals sets off on a 7 mile round trip to Godrevy Lighthouse or Seal Island both locations are beautiful and have colonies of Grey Atlantic Seals.
The skipper will choose which way to head off depending on the sea conditions and seal sightings.
This ensures you get the very best from your boat trip and will make a great memory of your time here in St Ives.
Along the way you can also spot a mix of wildlife from Dolphins to Sun Fish and a selection of sea Birds.
OUR New boats
Bluefin and Yellowfin are very large 10-meter catamarans full of all the latest technology and safety features you would expect on a modern boat. Meaning you will be enjoying your trip on a boat that’s designed for safety comfort and space there is even an onboard WC.
Our catamarans design is twin hulled and twin engined this means there is a lot less pitching and rolling than a traditional boat so this multi hull design dramatically lowers the amount of motion, reducing the chance of sea sickness to a much lower level.
The new modern engines are emission friendly and fuel efficient which means less dirty smoke and diesel fumes we can associate with the older style boats and most importantly the reliability and safety of having two independent engines as opposed to a single engined boat.
These boats alone will make your experience that extra special and you will not be disappointed when you see your boat arrive at the dock.

So pleased today to finally take delivery of our new 10m Sea safari RIB.
We collected her from Brixham for the final 70 mile section of her total 160 mile passage today.
She’s going to be a great new addition to Bluefin & Yellowfin and is going to offer some very exciting and new wildlife watching trips not seen from St Ives before.
We will be updating the website soon to start taking bookings for the 2024 season.
Massive thanks to Mario at island voyages for everything and to my crew man Neal for the lift to Brixham this morning.
