About
I grew up sailing, racing, and instructing on the River Fal, spending evenings and weekends on the water whenever possible. I competed in my first Fastnet Race at 16.
I have seven years of marine industry experience, logging over 56,000 nautical miles. This includes four years aboard a 39m original J Class yacht and one year on a high-performance 65m world-cruising ketch, alongside racing on TP52s, large-scale refits, and extensive servicing work. Croft Marine Solutions was founded from this background, where precision, reliability, and accountability have always been non-negotiable.
Career highlights include racing in the Rolex Middle Sea Race, Maxi Yacht Rolex World Championship, and Les Voiles de Saint-Tropez, as well as visiting Greenland’s fjords and completing six Atlantic crossings.
Now based back home in Cornwall, I bring that same level of professionalism to local vessels; supporting owners, skippers, and boatyards with dependable electrical and electronic work.
Working Approach
Every project is planned before work begins.
Clients can expect:
Clear communication from first contact to completion
Clean, well-organised installations
Fully documented systems for future servicing
All work is carried out with safety and long-term reliability as the priority; ensuring systems remain accessible, understandable, and serviceable well beyond installation.
Work is aligned with BMEEA standards, with a focus on building efficient, future-proof systems. Where possible, materials are reused or responsibly recycled during refit and upgrade projects. All work is fully insured and carried out in accordance with current industry best practices.
