Sail training to Yachtmaster level, power cruisers, powerboat and all the associated courses. Navigation theory, sea survival, radio, VHF etc. Sail charter and private tuition.

Few traditionally shaped inshore, west country boats around today can boast a pedigree stretching back 50 years. The Plymouth Pilot is one that can.

We are a family run business and we see ourselves as the custodians of the Plymouth Pilot brand, charged with seeing the continuation of these cracking boats for the future.
