POWERBOATING
Our powerboat training falls into three disciplines; open powerboats (up to 10m), motor cruisers (over 10m) and personal watercraft (Jet Skis). We run the full range of RYA courses in each discipline. We also offer a range of BWS Ski Boat Driver and BSAC dive boat operator courses.

Bareboat and skippered charter are available. We also compete in a large number of International yacht racing events on both sides of the Atlantic.

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.

Why choose Stormforce Coaching for this course?:
When we first became a Powerboat Training Centre our Principal had well over a decade of experience as a full time dinghy and windsurf Instructor. He had developed a range of techniques for coping with various craft. Another 8 years on and we have further developed these techniques. Over the years we have invested in various resources to ensure we can run this course properly.
You are guaranteed plenty of practical experience in up-righting, towing and dealing with single-handed dinghies, double handed-dinghies, asymmetric dinghies (entrapment), multi-hulls, broken down powerboats, windsurfers and kayaks. Few centres can provide the variety of resources to cover all of these scenarios in two days, but as with all of our courses we believe that having to resort to theory sessions as an alternative to actually trying out skills is a very ineffective way of learning and a poor use of your time.
Price: £297
