Skipper 'Tony Heart'
Tony holds the Royal Yachting Association (RYA) Yachtmaster Offshore Certificate of Competence, and is fully compliant with E.U. code of practice licensing scheme, and local boatman's licence.

Tony was introduced to fresh water angling by his father at the tender age of seven. This became his passion right through his teenage years and into adulthood. Freshwater became salt, both shore and boat angling, when he first arrived in Jersey in 1972.

He has fished Jersey waters from various vessels, including his own charter boats, for almost 30 years. In this time he has gained many specimen certificates, and held the Channel Islands ‘Smoothhound Record’ from 1987 to 1994, when the record was broken by one of his very own customers on Anna II with a fish of 20lbs 4oz!

Since then Tony has become one of the only charter skippers to hold a British Record for the largest ‘Ballan Wrasse’ ever recorded on rod and line, a fish of 9lbs 7oz 12drms. During Tony's 19 years as a professional charter boat operator, no less than eleven record fish have been caught while he was skipper.
