Wave Crest seen here outbound from the Royal Quays Marina, Port of Tyne (North East England) on 4th November 2007.

From what I can understand she is now used as a 'day trip' rod fishing boat but she certainly has some strange looking gear on her. Don't suppose anyone has any further details on her?

Thanks for confirming her 'history' - still to find out exactly what she trades as now, a bit of 'jack of all trades' by the looks of it.

not so much angling charter, although it has been known. Believe she's primarily a dive boat, charters to the local wrecks and occasionally used in dive salvage operations

Hi Mark

Thanks for that information

Always a little frustrating when you see vessels passing and don't know what they do!
