OUR BOATS

The Marr family have been boat and quota owners since 1870. That’s a lot of responsibility and heritage in regards to the UK fishing industry.

Our fleet of vessels are the backbone of Marrfish, as are the crews and skippers, working tirelessly to catch the UK’s best quality fish. Our newer boats are packed with technology to make fishing safer and more efficient.

Our boats have highly engineered hulls which are specifically designed to maxmise fuel efficiency, which means we burn less fuel on each trip and lower our Co2 emissions. The nets we catch our fish in are highly developed to reduce drag and also contain escape panels for younger fish which increases our sustainability efforts.The propellers which drive our boats are also engineered to be as efficient as possible working to reduce drag and further improve fuel efficiency.

Our boats work responsibly, efficiently, sustainably and put safety first.

We’ve put together a little bit of information about some of our boats…

Our boats also take part in the Fishing For Litter Scheme, The Responsible Fishing Scheme and our boats are MSC compliant.
