She was built by Philips and Sons in 1966 and was fitted out to an exceptional standard. She has a stateroom, two bathrooms, as well as crew accommodation and a fully equipped galley.

|
Marigot has a framework of iroko with a double skin of African Mahogany laid on this. Her keel is English oak. Immediately upon boarding the vessel it is apparent that she was built to a very high standard, with little expense spared during her construction.
|
|
|
She is coded to MCA requirements and can carry 12 passengers in addition to her crew. She is fully equipped with all the latest safety equipment and is maintained to a high standard by members of our unit. She is refitted each year in the spring before her sailing season commences.

Marigot regularly does trips around the Tay, and often goes up to Perth when the tide allows.

Marigot's wheelhouse shows the quality of her construction, made in an age before building with hardwoods was considered a lifestyle crime. Ever conscious of image, Callum dresses like a extra from an early Bond film to take the wheel. He often does this.
