Easy Booking Process

Emma Kate is a premier charter fishing boat operating year-round from Padstow harbour on the rugged North Cornwall coast, offering unforgettable sea fishing experiences for all ages and abilities aboard a LOCHIN 38 vessel powered by twin 280hp Iveco engines. Skippered by Lee and Gav — former Cornish Junior and Senior Boat Angling Champions with a combined 40+ years of experience on these specific waters — the Emma Kate offers five distinct fishing trips to suit every group: a 2-hour family mackerel trip from £25 per person, a 4-hour wreck and reef trip from £60 per person, an 8-hour full-day offshore charter from £90 per person, an evening trip from £60 per person, and an exclusive Bluefin tuna catch-and-release charter from £225 per person for maximum four anglers during the August to November season. All rods, reels, tackle and bait are included in every trip price at no extra charge, experienced anglers are welcome to bring their own gear, and the entire boat can be booked as a private exclusive charter for groups, stag parties, corporate events and fishing clubs. The waters off Padstow and the North Cornwall coast between Trevose Head and Tintagel hold an extraordinary diversity of species throughout the year — from summer mackerel, tope shark, black bream and smoothhound to autumn pollack, winter cod and the increasingly spectacular Atlantic Bluefin tuna that have returned to Cornish waters in remarkable numbers — and with 40+ years of accumulated knowledge of every wreck, reef, tidal mark and feeding ground on this coastline, Lee and John put you on the fish with a consistency that no chart or echo sounder alone can achieve.
