His family have been fishermen for generations, so not surprisingly, Paul chose the same career for himself, following in the family's tradition.

A local man, he was born in St.Abbs and now operates his own vessel, the 'MV.Topline'  Formerly a fishing boat, she is a Watercraft 35 having been converted and refurbished for the safety and comfort of passengers and is suitable for all types of charter. 

Fishing the seas for ten years, Paul gained a vast experience, especially of the North Sea off the East Coast of Scotland and in particular the coastal waters. 

He is the helmsman/mechanic of the RNLI's Inshore Lifeboat at St.Abbs. 

Paul's local knowledge of the coastline and history that surrounds St.Abbs and Eyemouth is vast, adding to the pleasurable experience of his charter passengers.

Having diving experience himself, Paul knows just how much this area has to offer, both diving and above the sea. 

He welcomes new visitors and old friends alike and his pleased to share his experience and knowledge with them.
