Welcome to Essex Boat Fishing, home of the Gloria B II

The fantastic boat you can see in these photos is the Gloria B II. A new Pro Charter fast thirty six foot purpose built sports fishing charter boat. The Gloria B II is powered by a Caterpiller 375 hp V8 diesel engine giving speeds up to twenty knots and a cruising speed equal to any in the fleet. She is specifically built to range the vast sholes and sand banks of the Thames Estuary for Skate, Bass, Tope, Smoothhounds, Cod, Whiting and many others with the angler's comfort in mind. She has the largest possible fishing deck space of a boat in her class giving our guests plenty of room and a comfy seat! She has a walk around island wheel house ideal for keen uptiders and on deck toilet facilities.
