Based in Plymouth at the Mayflower International Marina. Performance Yachting was established in June 1998 by Robert and Carole Beggs, accomplished sailors having both successfully raced in the Europe 1 Single-handed Transatlantic Race.

And more recently the Two-handed Round Britain and Ireland Race- also the couples honeymoon! From their shared interest in ocean & long distant racing, they have focused their energies into
creating a friendly professional maritime company.

We offer an extensive range of sailing activities and courses, as a Royal Yachting Association (RYA) recognised teaching establishment.



Sailing out of Plymouth Sound, our immediate training ground, offers an ideal learning environment of sheltered water and four main tributary rivers navigable deep into
the Cornish countryside. We have the advantage
that we can keep sailing within the Sound
when weather conditions make it unsuitable to
sail outside the breakwater.
