Plane Sailing is a culmination of 30 years of hands-on and management experience in the marine and educational fields. Based in Nova Scotia Canada, with international experience and contacts, we have intimate knowledge of the interface between the ocean and land.

Steeped in the history of many Maritime communities around the globe, we have a strong respect for how the land and sea interact. From this base we support our clients and customers to enjoy their work or leisure; whether it is working on a dock project or managing a vessel’s maintenance we understand that the work we do has to fit a total environment of the owner needs, desires and the milieu

Whether you are interested in developing your sailing skills or need a vessel delivered, we bring respect to your thirst for learning while protecting your investment.

 

“Plain Sailing” straight forward.
“Plane- any two points can be joined by a straight line, a level of consciousness or development”
