Safety Policy

We are long established seafaring people with extensive knowledge of the local Largs waters, overseas waters and indeed the Oceans of the world we have every respect for the oceans and their temperament.

The sea is a beautiful and calming environment but has its risks.  We try to identify all off these in our working practices to ensure a safe enjoyable voyage for our clients.
