Pro Mo
Marine was established in 1998 by Maurice W.A. Pimm (Mo), with the aim
of giving a complete service to all his clients.
Born
into a sailing family in November 1970 he was naturally led to working
in the marine industry. It all started with yacht deliveries at
the
age of 14 followed by work on a variety of yachts and motor boats in
the Med, Caribbean and the east coast of America.
Now a
qualified Yachtmaster in both Sail and Power craft, he has built up a
wide range of experience from sailing 80' Maxis to driving ribs. He has
worked in many different countries in a variety of situations,
including
photo shoots in Dubai, working with Rick Tomlinson, skippering private
and corporate charters, yacht management and maintenance.

Film & Photography
In the past years Mo has worked
closely with Rick Tomlinson, the world renowned sailing photographer,
driving for him on shoots such as Pete Goss's "Team Philips", Ellen
Macarthur's "Kingfisher", Tracy Edward's "Maiden II", the start of the
Volvo 2001-2 and the re-start of the Volvo 2005-6 Round the World Race,
The Fastnet Race, and 18' Skiff's Regatta. In addition to
driving for
Rick, Mo has also been shoot coordinator for a major cigarette
manufacturer in Dubai and he has worked with other TV production
companies such as TVS, APP, and most recently SHOOT YOU.
Yacht & Charter Management
Yacht
management has always been the core of his business from the start.
Whether it is looking after boats for individuals or syndicates,
private or charter companies - he has
provided the highest level of care and personal attention for the boats
and their owners, catering for
their individual needs. This has meant that he has had to be
accomplished in a wide range of fields, from
management of racing yachts to setting up and running a charter company.
Other Association & skills
He has
recently been working closely with Relience Yacht Management, Roger
Pimm (8 metre racing and maintenance;
inc. Varnishing/Painting), C P Rigging (pro-grip wheel covering),
M A Marine (corporate charters) and Carouse Charters ( helped set up
and run)
