Gloria BII Charters



My name is Terry Bolingbroke and I have been associated with the sea all my life with thirty five years crew on the Clacton-on-sea Lifeboat and running various charter boats on and off for thirty years including the famous New Unity.

I am fully licensed and the boat is fully coded and licensed by the Maritime Coast Guard Agency for ten anglers up to sixty miles offshore.  My boat the Gloria B II is fully equipped with modern electronics including Radar, Colour fishfinders, V.H.F Radios and a Colour Plotter for navigational pinpoint accuracy to get onto those productive marks in the Thames Estuary. Gloria B II is fitted with a powerful caterpillar engine to get you out to the marks safely and speedily and most importantly back home again.

Let me be your guide and I will take up to ten anglers out for some of the finest sea fishing in the Thames Estuary hunting for species such as Bass Cod, Tope, Smooth-hounds and Skate, giving you instruction if you need it and imparting some of the secrets of catching big fish.

Just give me a telephone call weather your a large party or small group or even if you fish alone and we will give you a memorable expearence you will not forget.
