the premier South West Fishing Company
ESTABLISHED IN LADRAM BAY
WATERDANCE FISHING
Waterdance is a family-owned fishing company and is part of the Greendale Group. We have over 20 boats based in Devon and Cornwall including beam trawlers, netters, potters and crabbers. Our boats land regularly at Brixham, Newlyn, Salcombe and Exmouth. These ports provide direct access to the western channel where clean deep waters and strong currents create the perfect environment for world class seafood. Sustainable fishing methods ensure that these stocks remain intact.
PREMIUM FRESH SEAFOOD
WHAT WE CATCH
We focus on catching quality fresh, locally caught fish. Our boats operate under fishing quotas designed to protect different fish species from overfishing in UK waters. We have achieved accreditation from the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) for hake caught in static nets by our fleet in Newlyn, Cornwall, and we’re seeking MSC accreditation for a further three fisheries, as part of our efforts to provide customers with more sustainable fresh fish and work towards long-term improvements in the marine environment.

BOAT BUILDING
BUILDING FOR THE FUTURE
At Waterdance, we have been working to modernise our fleet for some time, and in the past four years we have commissioned four new fishing vessels. The Nichola of Ladram, a Crabber, built in 2019; the Georgina of Ladram, a Beam Trawler, built in 2020; the Amanda of Ladram, an Offshore Netter, built in 2021 and the Winter of Ladram, built in 2022. We have found the benefits of modernising the Waterdance fleet to be numerous. Click the link below to learn more.
