Your guide

Conrad Humphreys

A legendary figure in world sailing, Conrad has competed in the Vendée Globe, the Ocean Race, and the BT Global Challenge, which he won as the youngest skipper in the race’s history.

He skippered Bounty in Channel 4’s acclaimed series Mutiny, retracing Captain Bligh’s 3,600-mile open-boat survival voyage across the Pacific. He knows how to make seven complete strangers feel entirely at home on a historic wooden boat. That combination is what Bounty & Hope is built on.

The vessel

Meet Bounty

Bounty starred in Channel 4’s hit series Mutiny, the authentic replica of Captain Bligh’s open launch, the vessel in which he made one of history’s most extraordinary survival voyages across 3,600 miles of the Pacific.

Every plank carries the weight of a real story: a boat designed to survive the Pacific now takes you into one of Britain's most remarkable stretches of water. History you can feel underfoot.

Sailing inside the UK's first National Marine Park.

Plymouth Sound is home to 1,000+ species of international importance and 600+ historic shipwrecks. Every voyage is a journey through living history.

Really enjoyed the time on the boat. With Conrad explaining what the project was about and some of the occurrences on the expedition, being aboard put everything into context. A great experience. Thank you!

What a fascinating and active trip. Conrad literally shows you the ropes and then helps you get stuck in whilst telling tales of the Bounty, Blythe, and his own adventures. Well worth it!
Josh Hoole
Adventure Guide
Well, what can I say? We thoroughly enjoyed our little “voyage” with Conrad and six other sailors on a lovely Saturday afternoon. The history behind this relatively small boat is fantastic and what Conrad has done and continues to do is excellent. I just wish we could have spent more time. Thanks for a great experience!

A wonderful evening sail — welcoming, relaxing and beautiful. With encouragement from Conrad, we all felt confident to join in and experience our first sailing trip.
Holly Comben
First-time sailor
We had a fantastic day out. Both the kids and adults really enjoyed themselves. Conrad was brilliant and got everyone involved who wanted to be. Would definitely recommend and do this again.

Family adventure
Conrad's knowledge of the boat, its history and sailing in general is second to none. The boat looks old but is in tip-top condition with electric propulsion — even on a calm day you can cruise in near-silence.

Who'd have thought a 240-year-old lifeboat could clock 7.4 knots! Conrad was the perfect host and skipper. Even the landlubbers loved it!
Matt Griggs

My children had an amazing time with Conrad. They were very fortunate to see wild dolphins swimming with the boat. Memories they will never forget. We will be back!
