POWERBOATING

INSTRUCTOR TRAINING

YOUTH COURSES
All three centres are child friendly, why should the adults have all the fun? Our junior courses in sailing and Powerboating are aimed at 7-11 year olds. Our youth courses are aimed at 12-15 year olds. Our holidays are suitable for all ages.

FAST TRACK COURSES
A range of modular training courses to allow sailors and power boaters to fast track their way into our industry. These courses work because they consolidate all of the necessary training into a short time period and we run with a low ratio of students to instructor.

SUPER YACHT TRAINING
Thousands of “wannabe” crew are attracted by the sunshine, high salaries and global travel of the super yacht industry. If this appeals to you then there is no question that you need the right training on your CV before anyone will even consider you.
