You collect your Dell Quay dory at the quay, receive brief tuition, don provided buoyancy aids and push off to fish from a compact, easy‑to‑handle craft—whether for a single day or a stretch of up to 14 days during the season. The operator supplies oars and mud weights so the hire is ready for immediate use.

2
Couples or pairsIdeal for two people—maximum occupancy is two—so the dory is best for paired anglers rather than larger groups.
3
Pet ownersPet friendly with a limit of up to two dogs, allowing anglers to bring canine companions on the outing.
4
Families with childrenNot suitable for under‑18s to drive; persons under 18 are not permitted to drive self‑drive motor boats, so plan for adult supervision and driving by those 18+.
