Day boat hire - Kyles of Bute, Scotland

[tsf]

Anyone know where I can charter a day boat, for some fishing on Kyles of Bute (Tighnabruiach)? 20ft, 6-8 pers, 16 July, 3 days?
Simple open boat with 50-100hp would be ideal.
thanks

I don't think you will find anything like that in Kyles area, might be worth asking at Portavadie Marina which is only about 4 miles from Tighnabruaich (they don't have this facility but might know of someone)

Only day hire of fishing boats that I'm aware of in the Clyde is the boat yard near the top of Loch Goil which is a fair distance from the Kyles (about an hour by road)

+1. Maybe a couple of possibilities around Tarbert / Lochgilphead: http://www.tarbert.info/tarberttext/sport1.htm

I found a leaflet for dcmarine.co.uk at the Kames hotel last night

It might be worth checking them out they offer "sightseeing and fishing trips for all the family"

Thanks to all. Very helpful suggestions. I did try dcmarine, but that's a skippered service only. Seriously considering taking more drastic action:

By about 30 miles, that's why I suggested by road

I wasn't suggesting he should swim there.
