Don't just take our word for it
Hands down the most genuine guy and a great skipper that doesn’t stop until he finds the fish for you. Enjoyed my tuna session with Tom and I will be back for more in the new season. Thank you!Posted on Alin Durchi16/01/2025 What an incredible experience! Tuna fishing with Tom on First Priority Marine was hands down one of the best fishing trips I’ve ever been on. From start to finish, everything was handled with professionalism and enthusiasm. Tom’s knowledge of the waters off Falmouth is second to none, and his passion for fishing is infectious. The boat was impeccably maintained, equipped with top-notch gear, and designed for comfort, even during a long day at sea. Tom made sure we were well-prepared and briefed on everything we needed to know, from safety procedures to fishing techniques. The highlight, of course, was landing several stunning bluefin tuna. Tom’s expertise in finding the best fishing spots ensured we had an action-packed day. His guidance and support during the fight made it even more exhilarating, whether you’re a seasoned angler or a first-timer. To top it all off, the scenery was absolutely breathtaking. Falmouth’s coastline and the open sea were spectacular, making the entire experience unforgettable. If you’re looking for a world-class tuna fishing adventure, look no further than Tom and First Priority Marine. I can’t recommend them highly enough – I’ll definitely be booking again!Posted on Nick Dawson09/01/2025 Tom took me and 3 of my friends tuna fishing for the day. Wow just wow what an experience it was 6 to the side of the boat. Such a knowledgeable and likeable man. Highly recommend. Thanks TomPosted on Helpful Harry07/01/2025 Tom’s enthusiasm for fishing is mountainous and contagious, only surpassed by his knowledge on where to stick rods and how to get fish biting! I had a cracking day out on First Priority down in Cornwall and managed to get my first tuna alongside! Would def recommend - cheers Tom and best of luck for the future.Posted on Fr3dstas07/01/2025 Highly recommend booking a trip out with Tom at first priority marine! I saw a YouTube video made by (Fish hunter uk) featuring first priority marine and instantly knew that I had to get out fishing on the boat, I messaged Tom and booked. My hope and goal was to catch my first Bluefin tuna something I had dreamt of doing for years. Having been on a couple of charters on other boats targeting the tuna, I just wasn’t lucky enough on them days or there was too few fish caught and too many anglers on the boat hence me not getting on the rods. That’s why with Toms boat it suited me best, as I wanted to be part of the crew and in the thick of it rather than just a rod. Once on the boat and after the safety briefing I knew I had made the right choice the boat was perfect as was the kit. Tom was confident we would get amongst the fish and that we did! I can honestly say it was the best days fishing I have done in a lifetime of angling! The two of us onboard caught our first bluefin tuna each and during the chaos Tom remained calm and showed great skills getting the job done he was also as pleased as we were to catch the fish. If the day had ended there it would have been awesome enough…… but after a short while of fishing again we hooked a giant and for me it really was a fish of a lifetime I could go on and on as the experience is etched into my mind. All I can say is, if you are an angler and want to experience the unbelievable bluefin tuna fishery that we are absolutely blessed with in these times, book, you won’t regret it and you will hopefully have your own fish of a lifetime story to tell too!Posted on Fisher Man06/01/2025 Simply superb is all I can say! Booked on for a days tuna fishing as i had never been before and by the end of the day had caught not one but three bluefin tuna. Tom was great throughout, very professional. A great small charter for a more personal experience tuna fishing I couldn't recommend him more. I returned a few weeks later and caught another tuna.Posted on Jim Bolton06/01/2025 The fishing was absolutely incredible—hooking up to eight tuna and landing five made for a truly unforgettable day on the water. Huge thanks to Tom for an epic experience!Posted on Oliver Hayes05/01/2025 Top top skipper this man knows his onions i totally recommend can't wait to get out again this yearPosted on Fish Hunter UK05/01/2025 Top class in all ways, on the fish all day and good company.Posted on tom Blamey05/01/2025 Had a great evening fishing aboard First Priority with Tom who did everything possible to make the trip memorable and to ensure we went home having caught some fish. The Mackerel we caught were duly barbecued the following day and were delicious.Posted on Dave Boorman05/01/2025
