The ‘skipper’ John O’Shea offers a range of sea fishing trips tailored to suit the novice and avid angler alike.
Hundreds of visitors have caught their first fish on his boat the ‘L’Oursin’, (French for sea urchin) and his experience in these waters is second to none. John’s father was a Skelligs’ boat skipper and his grandfather was the last man born on the now uninhabited Scariff Island so local sea fishing knowledge runs deep in his blood.
Our fishing trips cater for groups and individuals, and are fully licensed and Irish Tourist Board-approved.
Our fishing trips can last from 2 to 12 hours and include:
- Reef and Drift Fishing for pollock, mackerel, cod, wrasse, conger, ling and colefish
- Deep Sea Angling for flatfish, conger, skate, ling, dogfish, ray and spurdog
- Shark Fishing for blue, portbeagle, and tope
John operates the Catch & Release Programme.
He also supports the Recycle Fish – Live Not Dead Programme. This ensures that fish not being eaten by the guests, either on board or on shore, are released to fight another day!
All gear is supplied as well!
