The Skipper

1/2

Im Mark Peters owner and skipper of the Dawn Tide II. I have been on the water from very young age and grew up on the water and around boats.

Working along side my dad and crewing on his various charter and work boats that he operated for over 35 years around the Thames estuary and Essex area.

I like to think i have extensive knowledge and experience of the Thames estuary, Essex coast and surrounding waters especially when it comes to the lure fishing my favourite.

I have worked along side some very experienced and professional skippers and crew on many marine contracts over my career and have been chartering my own boats for over 15 years. This gave me the skills and knowledge that i feel some skippers just don't have so rest assured you and in very safe professional hands.

I have worked on many vessels such as salvage dutys, ferrys, crew transfer, safety boats, tugs, work boats, survey vessels, barges, fishing boats mainly around the Thames estuary and surrounding areas.

I have skippered boats from as far up the Thames as richmond right down the the Thames and even round the southcoast to the isle of white on many different vessels & contracts.

But for the last 15 years i have been full time chartering out of Essex marina on my own vessels & i continue to do so well until the day i die!

Being out on the water is comes second nature to me spending he whole career afloat from when i left school its fair to say its my passion.

Any one that knows me knows i love my Bass fishing especially targeting Bass on the lures something that has taken me years to master just check out my social media sites, gallery & you tube videos its all on there i love it!!!

Thanks everyone look forward to seeing you all onboard soon
