Welcome To Big Buoy Charters!

Welcome to Big Buoy Charters, boat charter and shark fishing specialist located at Portland Marina, Portland Dorset.

Portland Marina is a great starting off point for a days angling, with free parking, showers and a pub/restaurant on site. There are also trolleys for those anglers that carry too much! A slope down to the pontoon and level access to the boat, meaning access to deep sea boat angling for all ages and abilities.

Whether you are a novice or an experienced angler, we boast great reef and bank fishing along with many wrecks, some not too far out and others mid channel. You can be assured that Big Buoys' 450hp Iveco engine will get you to the fishing grounds quickly with a cruising speed of 17 knots!

Big Buoy offers free tea and coffee onboard, so you travel and fish in comfort. Full fishing outfits can be hired directly from the boat along with one set of tackle.

Although Big Buoy's home port is Portland you will regularly see Big Buoy travel along the south coast and across the channel.

Big Buoy Charters are available for other charter uses, including but not limited to, filming, survey work, guard boat duty, stag and hen parties, corporate days, dedicated disabled trips, Jurassic coast tours, funeral services and ash scattering.
