Our Reviews
Scarlett Barnett - Smith - Deck OOW Unlimited
MCA Oral Exam Prep Service
"Tom helped me with my oral prep, and I’m so glad he did.
He was absolutely brilliant, patient, supportive, and extremely thorough in his explanations. His guidance, particularly with the Collision Regulations, made a huge difference. He helped me understand not just how to recall the rules, but how to apply them confidently in practical situations.
I’m very grateful for his help and would highly recommend him to any cadet seeking support with oral preparation."

Gavin Davis - Private Yacht Owner
Maintenance Planning & Oversight Service
"Plymouth Marine Solutions supplied a uniquely brilliant spreadsheet to log and report maintenance tasks for my yacht. Being a leisure sailor who prefers to sail not be head down maintaining stuff on the boat the spreadsheet really helps me prioritise the work that needs doing as well as acting as a useful log of dates, costs, engine hours etc. A really well thought out tool, one that I am delighted with."
