Mackerel Fishing Trips

Experience one of Cornwall’s most exciting and family-friendly fishing trips aboard Zephyr Charters from St Mawes Harbour.

Our mackerel fishing trips are perfect for beginners, families, children, holidaymakers and experienced anglers wanting fast-paced action on light tackle. During the summer months, huge shoals of mackerel move into the waters around Falmouth Bay, creating brilliant sport with multiple fish often caught at once.

Trips typically last around 90 minutes, giving plenty of time to catch fish while enjoying the stunning Cornish coastline.

Whether you are trying sea fishing for the very first time or simply want a fun day on the water, our mackerel trips are one of the best value fishing experiences in Cornwall.

What To Expect

After departing from St Mawes Harbour, we steam a short distance to productive local fishing grounds where the skipper will locate feeding shoals using onboard electronics and local knowledge.

Once over the fish, rods are baited or rigged and dropped over the side. It’s common to hook several mackerel at once, making these trips exciting from the moment the fish arrive beneath the boat.

Our crew are always on hand to help with:

• Setting up tackle
• Baiting hooks
• Untangling lines
• Landing fish
• Teaching beginners
