Sea Angling Classic 2022

We are delighted to announce that Wetwheels has been named as the Inclusivity Partner for this year's Sea Angling Classic competition.

Disabled anglers will have the opportunity to compete alongside some of the world's greatest sea anglers in this year’s event to be held in Portsmouth in June.

Wetwheels has been designed to accommodate all disabled people, including wheelchair users, providing state-of-the-art facilities including electric fishing reels for sea anglers with limited hand function and fishing-finding marine electronics.

Wetwheels Founder Geoff Holt MBE DL is himself a passionate angler:

"We are absolutely delighted to be part of this amazing competition. We regularly run trips with disabled anglers, some of whom will give their non-disabled counterparts a run for their money. To be able to compete on a level playing field (or should that be a level sea?) alongside against the world’s greatest anglers, it will demonstrate to the world that when you remove barriers to access, disabled people can participate just as easily."

Sea angling is so much more than catching fish. Out at sea on the boat, it is an opportunity to forget about your disability, be with like-minded friends, to be at one with nature and it is so important for our mental health and well-being. Of course, catching fish is a bonus and with some incredible prizes up for grabs, disabled sea anglers will be able to showcase their skills and hopefully wheel away with some great memories and maybe a trophy or two.
