About Whitby Fishing Trips

Whitby Fishing Trips is a coastal charter operator based in Whitby, England, offering purpose-built angling trips for a range of experience levels. The company operates multiple trip types: winter cod fishing (October–April) that anchors in shallow waters under 10 metres using light tackle and traditional baits such as lug, squid and crab; an 8-hour wreck fishing trip with rods and reels provided and optional 1–2 hour extensions; a 3-hour fishing trip launching from the Pontoon with all fishing tackle supplied; and targeted bluefin tuna trips that run under limited licence availability.

All trip descriptions specify tackle and bait provisions where applicable, and departures take place from the Whitby pontoon for easy access to local marks. Safety and practical on-water procedures are standard for each charter, with crew managing anchoring, line handling and passenger briefings before departure. The business focuses on clear, factual trip information so anglers know what to expect for duration, gear and seasonal targets. Combining straightforward logistics with hands-on angling opportunities, Whitby Fishing Trips serves beginners and experienced anglers seeking cod, wreck species and occasional bluefin tuna opportunities off the North Yorkshire coast. Trip lengths range from short three-hour outings to full-day wreck charters, and the availability of rods, reels and tackle on most trips reduces equipment barriers for visitors. Prospective customers are encouraged to review trip details and licence notes, especially for rare bluefin tuna trips where licences are limited. Contact the operator or check the schedule to confirm dates, capacity and current fishing conditions and pricing.
