Adam (captain) and Charlie (storyteller extraordinaire) provided a great touring experience. Fantastic scenery, lots of seabirds, and an incredible close up with a lone dolphin were just some of the highlights. Thanks for an amazing day.

Surpassed expectations! We did the ‘catch your breakfast’ tour and had the best time. Experiencing the coastline from a different perspective while watching the sun come up was spectacular, and Richard is so knowledgeable about everything from the geology of the coastline, to the history as well as myths and legends….and of course fishing! Massive thank you as well to chef Lee for an incredible breakfast and for some of the best freshly baked scones I’ve every had. All round amazing experience!

We were surprised and pleased to have our last minute booking request fulfilled for our party of 6. Adam captained the Causeway Lass with calm assurance and offered local insights and advice, helping us tick off our bucket list wish of ocean fishing off the Irish coast. Well done!

Fantastic. Booked the “catch your breakfast” tour 11/10/25…..what an amazing time! We left the harbour 7am before sunrise and the sunrise was amazing, just as the skipper Richard said it would be! We had two of them ( if you book with him he’ll explain) his knowledge of the coast line is second to none and we were in awe of his knowledge, thank you. The fish too was amazing and the fun we had was in this day and age a breath of fresh air, amazing. We then took our catch to Kraken for breakfast were we met by Lee, we were treated like it was a tv programme first off fresh baked scones then our catch (Mackerel) with potato bread cut in the shape of the causeway stones (such a lovely touch) soda bread. Scallions and a beautiful poached egg. Honestly the whole experience was amazing, thank you Richard (skipper) and Lee (Chef) if you’re ever in Portrush looking to do something different give causeway boats a shout for a truly amazing experience! Clifford.

An amazing morning fishing, dolphin watching, touring the coastline and being entertained by the very charming Charlie and Richard. I will be recommending this experience to everyone I know that comes to the Antrim coast..
