sea fishing boat trips

[dunderheed]

looking for a little advice here, maybe someone will know.
i am planning to take me son and my nephew sea fishing this year , hopefully on one of these chartered boat trips, does anyone know if there is an age restriction ? my son will be 9 and my nephew 13.i assume most boats will have lifejackets for youngsters if they are permitted to go on them as their safety is my main priority.
also do the boats supply rods , tackle and bait ?
thanks in advance.

my hubby took our kids 12 & 14 out on one last year (think it was the Karen, booked via Susan's Tackle Shop) - he thoroughly enjoyed it and they contributed to the fish bait!!!!

Just to assure you:

Yes, we have a full compliment of life jackets for youngsters and adults alike, along with a full SOLAS liveraft and many more safety items that you could care to shake a stick at since we are fully coded with the MCA's Coded Small Small Vessel Certificate (MGN 280).

We can supply rods etc... along with any tuition needed.

Along with a light meal for day trips and on-tap tea & coffee for all trips.

Lots of nice Ling, Cod and Pollock today at the 8lb mark with the best Cod to 9.9lb - Not bad for an evening session with some cracking weather and seas like glass
