Step 1 · The plan
Who, how many, and where.
What we do, in detail
Passenger trips, hire without a crew, leisure equipment, and advisory work.
Program 01 · We take you
Passenger trips
If we carry you, the vessel has to be certified for carrying passengers and whoever is at the helm has to hold the professional qualification for the job. A pleasure licence does not cover carrying people for money, which is worth knowing because plenty of trips are sold as though it did. One number matters more than seating: carry more than twelve passengers at sea and the vessel is a passenger ship in law, under a wholly different regime.
Step 2 · The vessel
Certified for that use.
Step 3 · The day
Weather and sea state judged.
Step 4 · Out
And back, when it is right to.
Step 1 · The licence
Whatever the craft requires.
Step 2 · The brief
Instructions for safe use.
Step 3 · The kit
Checked and fit for use.
Step 4 · The return
On time, and in one piece.
Program 02 · You are in charge
Hire without a crew
The moment you take something out without us, you are the person in charge. You need whatever licence that requires, you are responsible for the navigation rules, and your insurance position is not the one that applies to a carried passenger. We check the licence the law requires and we give you the instructions you need, but we do not assess your competence beyond that, and nobody should pretend otherwise. If you are unsure, be carried instead.
Program 03 · Fit for use
Leisure equipment
Equipment goes out in a condition fit for what it is for, with the instructions needed to use it safely, sized to the person rather than to what is left in the rack. Buoyancy aids are provided where they are required and wearing one can be a condition of going out. None of this is complicated, and all of it is the difference between an afternoon and an incident report.
Step 1 · The person
Size, experience, conditions.
Step 2 · The kit
Matched and checked.
Step 3 · The brief
How to use it, and limits.
Step 4 · The check
Returned and inspected.
Step 1 · The question
What is actually being asked.
Step 2 · The limits
What we are not qualified for.
Step 3 · The work
Done and written down.
Step 4 · The referral
To the right professional.
Program 04 · Not investment advice
Advisory work
A registered activity of the company and a different line of work from the boats. It is commercial advice on business and management questions. Despite the word invest in the company name, it is not investment advice: we are not an investment firm, we hold no authorisation from the markets authority, we manage nobody's money and nothing here is an offer or invitation to invest. It is also not legal, tax or accounting advice.
