Trev Hyland

★★★★★

“John Paul was brilliant with us. As a group of swimmers undertaking an open water training session we were in safe hands. John Paul is so knowledgeable of the local water but most of all, he was very positive and upbeat with our team.”

“An amazing fishing trip! Could not recommend JP tours enough! He’s incredible with the kids, and a brilliant family day out. Highlight of the holiday.”

Marie Early

★★★★★

“Great trip out with John Paul and we had such a lovely trip. So patient with the kids and kept moving along to make sure each of the children caught a fish. Highly recommend.”

Alanna McNulty

★★★★★

“Great experience! John was a great host, fishing was great, seen a pod of dolphins, overall an amazing day out! Highly recommend.”

David Keegan

★★★★★

“Had a fantastic 4 day charter with John Paul. He never stopped trying to find the fish for us in fairly difficult sea conditions. We ended up with a bumper catch — possibly the best in the 30 years we’ve fished in Ireland.”
