The Boat…
Silver Spray is a Cat Fish 38 aluminium catamaran offering angling charters from Poole, Dorset. She is built to fully comply with all required UK safety standards.
She was purpose built at Hayling Island in 2005 for charter angling and is 38 feet long by 16 feet in beam. There is an enormous 300 square feet of deck space and 76 feet of gunnel length which means that 12 anglers can fish in comfort.
Being a catamaran Silver Spray is very stable, and can comfortably fish in conditions where mono-hulls would be uncomfortable.
Silver Spray has twin Caterpillar 355 HP diesel engines which give a cruising speed of 17 knots with a full crew. 8 anglers can sit in comfort in our wheelhouse which is heated in winter. There is a flushing toilet. Hot tea and coffee are provided free of charge when sea conditions allow.
Silver Spray is fully equipped with Radar, 3 GPS, Plotter, 2 VHF Radio, 2 Fishfinder and all safety equipment to comply with MCA category 2.
We have insulated fish storage, live bait tanks, rod storage and hanging space for waterproofs. First class rods and reels are available if you don’t have your own. We carry a full range of tackle in case you have forgotten something. Please pay for any of Silver Spray’s equipment or tackle that you loose.
