OUR STORY

Royal William Yard Marina forms part of Oceanic Marine Group, a family-run group of marine-related businesses based in Plymouth and Southeast Cornwall. We operate cruises, private charters, ferries, fishing trips, restaurants and a premier boatyard facility.

Plymouth Boat Trips started out more than twenty years ago as Fish 'N' Trips, a small business founded by Ben Squire through a life-long passion for fishing. At the age of 21, with a £1,000 loan and a £500 grant from The Princes Trust, Ben purchased a boat and began running mackerel and deep-sea fishing trips from Plymouth.

Since then, the business has flourished to become Plymouth Boat Trips Ltd. Fulfilling another dream to serve the fresh, sustainable fish he loves to catch, Ben opened The Boathouse, situated on the wharf where the boats depart.

With our fantastic team we pride ourselves on delivering a first-class customer experience. There are exciting plans for all areas of the business as we strive to deliver excellent water links and events in our wonderful city by the sea.
