Our Story on the Water
From a single boat in Plymouth to England's most trusted guide service. We exist to connect people with the ocean and the thrill of the catch.
Our Mission
At AwayFishing, we believe that fishing is more than just a sport—it is a way to reconnect with nature, learn patience, and build lasting friendships. Our mission is to provide safe, educational, and sustainable fishing experiences for anglers of all skill levels.
We are committed to preserving the marine ecosystems of Devon and beyond. Every tour is conducted with deep respect for local wildlife, adhering to catch-and-release best practices whenever possible.
