🎣 About Zephyr Charters – St Mawes, Cornwall

Zephyr Charters is a locally run fishing charter operating from St Mawes Harbour in Cornwall, offering authentic days at sea shaped by experience, local knowledge, and a genuine passion for fishing.

Founded and operated by local skipper Lewis Annear, Zephyr Charters was built around a simple idea: to provide safe, enjoyable, and productive days on the water for anglers of all backgrounds, while showcasing the very best of Cornwall’s coastline.

⚓ A Local Skipper with Real Cornish Experience

Lewis Annear has spent years fishing and working these waters, building detailed knowledge of tides, marks, and seasonal movements around the Fal Estuary, Carrick Roads, and wider Cornish coast.

This local understanding plays a key role in every trip—helping us choose the right locations, conditions, and techniques to give passengers the best possible experience at sea.

Zephyr Charters is not just a business, but a continuation of a lifelong connection to Cornwall’s marine environment.

🛥️ The Vessel – Built for Comfort and Capability

Zephyr is a 32ft Offshore 105 charter vessel powered by a 420hp V8 Caterpillar engine, offering a strong balance of offshore performance, comfort, and reliability.

Designed for real working conditions at sea, she provides a stable and practical platform for fishing, with space and facilities that make longer days offshore comfortable and enjoyable.
