Black Rock Charters and Fishing
About
Black Rock Charters and Fishing offers a range of fishing and sightseeing experiences on the Isle of Wight. From brief 90‑minute Needles cruises that showcase the iconic lighthouse and surrounding coastline, to half‑day and all‑day fishing trips that reward guests with local species such as mackerel, bass and trout, every outing is helmed by MCA‑licensed, experienced skippers. The 9.45 m cabin cruiser Gemma can accommodate up to ten passengers, is wheelchair‑friendly and comes fully equipped with gear and bait – all you need to bring is your own refreshments. Families, couples, solo anglers and small groups find the trips welcoming and relaxed, and the business has been named Yarmouth’s #1 Tourist Attraction by TripAdvisor, consistently earning a 4.9 star rating. The crew prioritises safety: all equipment complies with the Maritime and Coastguard Agency regulations, and on‑board life‑jackets and first‑aid kits are mandatory. Guests are encouraged to book in advance – particularly during the busy summer months – to secure their preferred times and destinations. Nighttime fishing is not available and trips are limited to good weather. Whether you are looking for a casual, family‑friendly outing or an adventure‑seeker’s day on the water, Black Rock Charters offers an all‑inclusive experience that showcases the natural beauty of the Isle of Wight.
