Powerboat Training

The RYA Powerboat Training Scheme is made up from a series of short courses for owners and skippers of small open powered craft. As a general rule, these craft will be under 10m in length and will not have cooking facilities onboard. The foundation of the scheme is the 2-day RYA Powerboat Level 2 Course which is used by both leisure and commercial drivers. It is often likened to the car driving licence (but much more fun).

Our RYA Powerboat courses are taught onboard either our XS RIBs (Rigid Inflatable Boats) and Rigiflex boats, or onboard your own boat. Our RIBs are between 6 and 8m in length, powered by petrol outboard engines and fitted with colour chart plotters. The eldest was new in September 2010. If you are looking for something more bespoke then let us know as we have access to a variety of other craft. Anyone who completes an RYA Powerboat Level 2 (or higher) course with us is also eligable for an ICC (Power 10m).

In addition to the RYA courses we also run some specialised BWS (British Water Ski) Ski Boat Driver Courses and BSAC (British Sub Aqua) Diveboat Skipper Courses. Course titles are given below. For further details, dates, prices and to book click on the individual course titles.
