Dave Lumley is a Hartlepool lad born and bred. For as long as he can remember he has been obsessed by anything to do with the sea.
He
has been a charter skipper since 1985 and is highly qualified
holding the Royal Yachting Association Yacht master Offshore
Commercial certificate.
Although he currently specializes in sea angling charters he
has a wide experience of commercial fishing
including trawling for prawns and potting for lobsters and crabs
His interest in finding new wrecks led him to take up scuba diving. So not only does he know the location of all the best fishing spots he has also conducted under water exploration too
Dave is very proud of his boats and likes to keep them in a ship shape condition.
He is a practical bloke and over the years he has undertaken substantial refits and maintenance projects onboard his vessels culminating in the commissioning of a brand new build in 2007.
His love of the sea has grown to such an extent that he has now finished his training to be a small craft surveyor and having passed all his exams is now practicing with his firm Northern Boat surveys Ltd.
His main concerns on the Famous and
the Trio III
are the safety and well being of the anglers, as well of
course putting them on plenty of fish.
Apart from taking fishing trips out we
also cater for commercial divers, bird watching,
water sampling, sight seeing whale watching and even
scattering ashes.
The Skipper and Owner Dave Lumley.
