About me

It all began with a deep passion for the Isles of Scilly and a life spent on the sea. As The Scilly Old Boatman, I share memories and anecdotes from 1955 to 1997, offering personal insights and dedication to every story. My approach is rooted in authenticity and the genuine experiences of a life well-lived and thoroughly enjoyed as a boatman.

"The stories are from my own personal experiences, good and not so good, funny and not so funny. They're genuine and trustworthy because they're my own."

"Transforming the Swordfish ll to carry just 12 passengers made everything clearer. I wanted to give a more personalised experience, unique to the Isles of Scilly."

"I hope visitors gain great memories and a warm feeling from my boat trips, and for my fellow locals, I hope to invoke great memories of a childhood well lived."
