A FEW HELPFUL ANSWERS

What groups usually want to know.

Do we need fishing experience?

No. Celtic Quest is family and beginner friendly, and the crew is there to help guests fish.

What do we need to bring?

The fishing essentials—rods, reels, bait, tackle, and fishing licenses—are included. For trip-specific needs, the Charter Specialists can help when you inquire.

Is this only for serious anglers?

No. The day is about a shared private experience as much as the fishing—families, first-timers, and experienced anglers are all welcome.
