Joe Wallington – RYA Yachtmaster Offshore Commercially
Endorsed & RYA Cruising Instructor (Sail)
The passion and affinity I have for the sea and all aspects of the marine industry ensure that all my clients always receive a dedicated, tailored experience reflecting their personal requirements and wishes. I have experience of skippering a range of different vessels, teaching families, hosting corporate events, skippering charters, mile builders and delivering the RYA Cruising Scheme. Having worked as an emergency services operator for HM Coastguard, coupled with my volunteer work as a lifeboat helm, customer safety is paramount to me and has reinforced my utmost diligence to safety on-board. My experience at a mechanical level ensures I maintain vessels to the highest standard from small repairs to managing larger refits with a meticulous eye for detail throughout.

HM Coastguard
5 years working for HM Coastguard in a variety of different roles. Starting as a Maritime Operations Officer answering MAYDAY calls from distressed seafarers and yachtsman, also reading the much loved shipping forecast out over the joys of VHF and MF radio (strangely the part of the job I miss the most). I also spent 2 years of my career working for the Aeronautical Rescue Coordination Centre, tasking the Coastguard Rescue Helicopters to assist all types of inland and maritime emergencies.
