Beautiful Brixham & Berry Head
Why Choose Brixham for your Fishing Charter
Part of the stunning English Riviera, Brixham is a small fishing port on the South Devon coastline. A very popular resort, with a long and rich maritime history. It’s fair to say, that Brixham is a jewel on the South West Waters coastline. Renowned for its beautiful beaches, unspoilt dunes and perfect for bird watching.
Sheltered from the south-westerly winds, which offers safe access in all weathers and at all stages of the tide. Brixham produces a vast amount of catches daily and used to compete with Torquay and Paignton, eventually dominating and remaining the only active port. It now has one of the most successful fishing fleets in England and Wales. Regularly landing more value than any UK port outside of Scotland.
Simply put, this beautiful and picturesque town has quaint olde-worlde cottages. Overlooking the harbourside, nestled at the foot of the town. On top of that, Brixham offers plenty of activities for the young and old. Plus, there’s an outdoor saltwater swimming pool, supervised by lifeguards. But one of the best things to do is explore the amazing waters around!

2 June 2021Onholiday71I took my dad and two sons out for an evening of fishing. Dave the skipper could not have been more helpful or accommodating. We caught bull huss, conger eels,... read more and pollock which we returned to the sea. We caught loads of mackerel which we used for bait and took some home for BBQ. We had a good wrestle trying to land some of the fish. Thank you very much Dave for a really special memorable evening. We will be back as soon as we can. Fiona

10 October 2020Andy L5 of us went sea fishing with Kelly's Heroe we had a great days fishing, Ian the skipper is very helpful and he knows the waters very well.
To start... read more with we went fishing for mackerel which we caught enough between us to use for bait along with the squid Ian supplied we moved further out to sea to fish for other types of fish.
Everyone caught fish which included dogfish, (rock salmon) smooth hounds & tope, (the smooth hounds & the tope we put back in the sea as they are not edible) the best catches of the day were 5 thorn back rays which put up a good fight.
We would recommend Kelly's Hero Charters for good days fishing & a fun day out. Check out their web site
By the way Ian makes a good cup of tea.

7 July 2018My Father and I went out for an 8 hour fishing trip, off the Skerries bank, with Dave and Craig and had a thoroughly enjoyable day. Their hospitality was incredible-... read more always making hot drinks/making conversation and also helping to land the fish.
Dave did his upmost to keep us on the fish (where he was very successful) and also provided advice/assistance on how to catch them. His price is very good value for money and we would not hesitate to go out with him again or recommend him to others.

31 August 2017Folks, firstly... you're dealing with good, honest, salt of the earth type of folk here with an astounding level of both customer service and a real homely touch to help... read more us city dwellers fit in nicely aboard Kelly's Hero...
Despite being briefed the day before by skipper Dave, I managed to arrive at the wrong side of the harbour (my fault!) but not a problem, he quickly offered to pick us up by boat to save time, and avoid any bother...
Once aboard, skippers mate Craig sorted us all a brew and we settled in to a little Seal spotting before heading out to sea..
4 adults, 12 yr & 8 yr old are-we....
All inexperience amateur fisher people
Dave & Craig gave us all the tuition with seemingly great quality equipment, and a bag full of humour to help our 9am start at sea as fruitful as it could be
We were told to head for the bottom of the sea bed... but before we could reach it, 3 mackerel apiece on the line and WE ARE ALL CATCHING FISH!!! And yes... REAL, FLAPPING, FISHY FISH! 😂
1 hour in, my partner decides the sea is not her home ground, left her sea legs at home and she turns whiter than a grey white thing...
Dave and Craig were soooo helpful, offering whatever they could to ease things...
After 40-50 fish in the bag, Craig recanted us a few stories whilst filleting our haul... we came away with a good few kilo of mackerel fillet ready for cooking and DAM..... it was good 👍
Few hours later, skipper texts me to ask if the missus is any better with her sea-sickness...
It's those little touches that make the difference 👍
Would I book again...?
YES, and already planning next years venture 😇
First class homely services from two guys who truly make it worthwhile
Thanks 🤘

26 August 2017Marc WCannot speak highly enough of Dave and Craig, took us out to some great wrecks for a lovely days fishing. Very nice boat, coffee and tea supplied and very friendly... read more and helpful. We were let down at the last minute by 'spot on' fishing, he came out with a pathetic excuse but it worked out better for us as we couldn't fault our trip on 'Kelly's heros'. They kindly took us on board after we had travelled all the way from Bristol to be let down at the last minute. If you are planning a fishing trip do not look anywhere else. Thanks so much.

25 September 2016 I had the best girly day at home whilst my husband spent the day fishing with Kelly's heroes. Apparently he had quite a good day too!?! He came... read more back with fish but even if he hadn't, I think he would still have had a tip top day. If you are looking for an excellent day fishing or, like me, looking to be shot of your old man for a few hours then you can't beat this firm for value and service.

21 January 2015Just got back from yet another trip aboard Kelly's Hero, with skipper Dave Saunders. Can't rate this skipper high enough. Dave does everything in his power to put his clients... read more onto the fish and is honest enough to tell you up front if conditions are likely to result in a poor days fishing. Good clean vessel, great crew hand in the shape of Craig. Would highly recommend this charter.
