Wish 4 Fish is a charitable organisation set up by Bryce Dinneen to help disabled people go fishing on a custom made boat.

Bryce is the driving force behind the Trust’s formation. While socialising with friends in 2007, Bryce suffered a high-level spinal injury, severely damaging his spinal cord, from a shallow water diving accident. During his rehabilitation, Bryce considered the thought of never being able to fish again and wondered what if he could design and build a boat that would allow individuals with a disability or illness to get out on the water and go fishing? How would this opportunity enhance the lives of those people and their families who would not be able to do this otherwise?

It was at this very point in 2007 that the ‘Wish4Fish’ dream was born. Although now with only 4% function and his own mountains to climb every day, it is Bryce’s and the Wish4Fish team’s ongoing commitment to making a positive impact, that has brought us to the point we find ourselves at today.

The boat itself is a Roger Hill custom designed 18m alloy high displacement cat powered by twin marine diesel engines. It has total capacity for 49 passengers – 10 wheelchair users, support staff and crew. The boat is designed with wheelchair users in mind, along with some of the unique features.
