CHARTER BOATS There is only one boat to charter in Alderney at the moment. Alderney Felix
II is skippered by Stuart Trought, Stuart has a wealth of boat knowledge and has
a Certificate of Competency Class 1, and an Unrestricted Local Boatman’s
Licence for the waters of Alderney and Guernsey, in addition to a licence from
the Lieutenant Governor of Guernsey to carry passengers within the waters of the
Bailiwick of Guernsey, including Alderney and Sark. Stuart has been fishing
around Alderney for over thirty five years and is also a member of the
Professional Boatman’s Association. The boat is licensed to operate up to 60
miles from shore (Cat 2). She carries state of the art electronics. She is fully
insured. Below is the only pic I have of her at the moment but you can see she
is an awesome size. There is 100' of gunnel space which makes her drifting the
banks and wrecks absolutely ideal. Its one of the few monohull boats that is
licensed for 12 and can actually fish 12 in comfort. Alongside is Stuarts old
craft, the 36' Alderney Felix. Stuart can be contacted on 07781 113099 or 01481
823934, alternatively take a look at his site www.alderneyangling.co.gg
To get here to charter Alderney Felix II you can fly with Aurigny from Southampton or Blue Islands from Brighton or Shoreham.
There are several UK charter boats that visit Alderney from April till October on anything from a 2 to 7 day charter. They depart from the South Coast ports, and either fish a wreck on the way over or come straight across for a few hours on the first day in Alderney waters depending an what the party want to target. The following two boats are sponsored by ABU and Alderney Angling and Sports. Colin Dukes has 25 years experience of fishing in Alderney and has vast knowledge of the fishing grounds. Based in Exmouth Smuggler V is a brand new 36' South Cat with a cruising speed of 22 knots. The wheelhouse is superbly thought out and you can sit around in your wet gear in comfort and have loads of fresh air as you travel.
