With their move to Portishead during winter, they now give anglers the opportunity to explore the Bristol Channel Cod run. Conveniently located just off the M5, Meerkat Charters is easily accessible from all directions.
The Meerkat is a spacious and stable vessel, measuring 11 metres by 4. 5 metres. It provides ample room for all passengers, ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable fishing trip. Powered by twin 200hp turbocharged diesel engines, the boat can cruise effortlessly at 15 knots and reach a sprint speed of 23 knots.
Safety and stability are paramount to Meerkat Charters, as they believe that a secure and comfortable environment is crucial for a successful day of deep-sea fishing.
One of the reasons behind the Meerkat's stability is its design as a displacement boat. This means that it cuts through waves instead of crashing over them, resulting in a smooth and dry ride, even in choppy waters. As a fishing platform, the Meerkat performs exceptionally well, causing minimal disruption in the water.

Whether you're looking for a short 2-hour trip or a multiple-day adventure, they have the perfect option for you.
