Matt Coker - Pathfinder

About Matt's Boat - Pathfinder Charter

My family have worked on the sea, in the English Channel for the last 100 years, commercial fishing until 1970s and then taking chartered fishing trips since then. I myself have 30+ years experience, and still run trips summer and winter with a second vessel, this will also provide a reserve vessel should any problems arise with our swim vessel.

I hold a ‘Yachtmaster Offshore’ qualification which is commercially endorsed, and an RYA Radar certification. I am also a qualified mechanical engineer including boat building.
