What Our Clients Say
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."
Morgan McKnight - Chief Mate Unlimited
MCA Oral Exam Prep Service
"I recently worked with Plymouth Marine Solutions to prepare for my Chief Mates Orals exam and I could not be more grateful for the support of Tom and his team. The professionalism, depth of knowledge and genuine commitment to helping out candidates truly stood out.
Highly Recommended!"
Adam Gould (Hydrographic surveyor)

"Tom is an excellent skipper who maintains good communication while on the helm. He’s creates a positive atmosphere onboard and holds safety as paramount"
Ella Gambell - Deck OOW Unlimited
MCA Oral Exam Prep Service
"Tom was such great help with my oral prep! He really knew how to use different methods to help me get to the best answers and helped make a stressful time more enjoyable all whilst making sure my answers were perfect!"
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."
