The Skipper

Padrig Rees has spent his life on and around boats since before he can remember, initially helping his father out on fishing boats and passenger trips during the school holidays. Whilst studying engineering and vessel maintenance at Pembrokeshire College he also crewed on the passenger boats around Ramsey Island until he became a skipper at 22. After skippering around the Pembrokeshire islands for 7 years he moved into the offshore industry skippering dive support and survey vessels for the next 8 years. During his time off he continued running trips around the Pembrokeshire islands and purchased the Blue Shark in 2013 to run diving and fishing charters. He now runs the Blue shark on a full time basis around the area he grew up in, helping others experience the amazing fishing and diving opportunities that Pembrokeshire has to offer
