Our trips

Our trips can range from 3 hours onwards. This can vary from Mackerel fishing just off the harbour to going further afield for some cod fishing.

No two are the same, we are constantly adapting our trips to suit each party and the behaviour of the fish.

One the shorter fishing trips we will be targeting pollock and mackerel (sometimes cod) and the longer trips we are targeting cod, lythe, ling etc. We can be flexible and adjust the tours to your interest to enhance your enjoyment.

We ask that you please arrive 30 minutes prior to sailing for check in. Payment for the trip is made on the day in the hut opposite the Scottish Fisheries Museum. We ask that you please come prepared, whilst we can supply equipment if needed, there are other things required for an enjoyable experience. As we are in the North Sea, you can imagine that it does get pretty cold, even on a hot day, we encourage all our passengers to dress in warm clothing.

Depending on the length of the trip, you may wish to bring food and drinks with you.

The Skipper

Skipper Rab was born in Cellardyke, where his childhood was mostly spent sea angling and Lobster potting. It was here that he learnt valuable practical skills from neighbours and local fishermen, before becoming one himself, keeping him in good stead for todays trips. With generations of knowledge passed down from his father (pictured below), it’s safe to say you’re in pretty good hands when aboard the Saltwind
