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, and potters.

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.

Our strategy is to invest locally, continually modernise our fleet, improve fish quality, and strive to get the best fish to our customers. We prioritise safety, compliance and sustainability. All of our boats are flagged to the UK, where the maritime safety standards are some of the highest in the world.

Fishing provides an important source of income and employment in the South west of England.

The Waterdance fleet employs more than 120 full-time fishermen, operating from our main ports of activity including Brixham, Newlyn, Salcombe and Exmouth. Our highly experienced Skippers are an integral part of the company’s success – click below to learn more about them.

Sustainability is key to the health of our oceans and Waterdance as a business. It is by sustainably harvesting seafood, that we ensure we play our part in the future vitality of the seas and fishing communities of the South west of England. The concept of sustainability is widely recognised as having 3 components; environmental, social and economic. Our company approach to sustainability incorporates these components. Quota management and regulatory compliance protects stocks. We invest in developing and sharing industry best practice and hold sustainability accreditations.
