RYA PWC Proficiency

Overview:

The RYA Personal Watercraft (Jet Ski) Proficiency course is aimed at first time and experienced riders alike. Increasingly the certificate is required for launching in UK harbours, it may also be needed if you want to drive jet skis abroad. Many insurance companies insist upon it before they will insure you, some lower their premiums if you hold it. The course provides a good grounding in jet ski techniques.
