About Start Point Spearfishing
At the UK’s longest established spearfishing business , you’ll find everything you need all under one roof.
Start Point Spearfishing, (formerly Spearfishing Store), was established in 2012 by Anthony Butcher. In 2020, the store was taken over and rebranded to Start Point Spearfishing by Barcley Spicer Jenkins. The store is named after a local beach where Barcley learned to spearfish, but also reflects the store’s dedication to helping beginners at the starting point of their Spearfishing journey.
Based in Plymouth in the Southwest of the UK, our spearfishing store is in one of the most popular areas for snorkelling and freediving. We stock freediving and spearfishing equipment from Cressi, Beuchat, Seac Sub and Epsealon. We are the UK sole importers of Apnea equipment and spearguns.
We are proud to serve customers in and around the Plymouth area. We have a showroom where you’re welcome to come and browse products and try on masks, fins and wetsuits during our opening hours. We also have a huge online presence and can deliver in the wider UK and abroad. If you’re in a hurry to get your product or you can’t wait to see your new purchase we also offer a next day delivery service too!
We provide a huge range of spearfishing and underwater foraging equipment including, but not limited to: spearguns, wetsuits, dive fins and computers, masks and snorkels, as well as foraging equipment such as waders, crab & lobster hooks, bags and gauges.

Meet The Team
The team is made up of some of the UK’s most experienced spearfishermen and women who are on hand to give you advice and support whether in-store or online. Holding a huge supply of spearfishing equipment, we are known for our superb customer service.
Barcley is Start Point Spearfishing’s managing director, leading the company as the spearfishing hub of the UK. Born and raised in Devon, Barcley has been spearfishing the Devon and Cornwall coastline for almost a decade. He loves adventure and is happiest when camping on a remote beach and eating only what he has caught himself. Finding and extracting large lobsters are what he enjoys the most. He is extremely knowledgeable about wetsuits, spearguns, rigging and reels and is pretty handy in a chef’s apron too!
Joe is the captain of Start Point Spearfishing’s team boat – Rosie. He first started spearfishing almost a decade ago and has been hooked ever since! Constantly searching for the best spearfishing spots for different species of fish or crustaceans, Joe is a true explorer with a passion for adventure. Before working with us, he was a secondary school biology teacher. Through his Youtube channel (Joe PK) he has inspired many to start spearfishing and promotes responsible, sustainable fishing.
Ben is Start Point Spearfishing’s master craftsman based in Cornwall. He has hand crafted several unique products on sale at the store such as the famous teak lobster hook, and the Start Point wooden speargun. As an experienced Spearfisherman himself, he developed and rigorously tested the gun over the course of a year until he was finally happy with the finished product, which is truly breathtaking. Ben has many exciting projects currently underway so watch this space.
