SHOREBASED TRAINING COURSES
We run a wide range of Shorebased training courses for sailors, power boaters and divers. Courses range from one to eight days- each one is designed to help you develop skills in specific areas such as radio, engine maintenance, first aid, navigation and survival. These courses allow you to focus on these skills while ashore without the distractions of flapping sails or noisy engines.
Which ever shorebased course you choose you will find our resources second to none; we have four specially equipped training rooms to simulate all forms of electronic navigation, marine radio, First Aid and use of a swimming pool for life raft training. Although these are essentially theory courses there are many practical elements.
Below are listed the course titles and one line descriptions of each course. For more details, prices, dates and how to book please click on the course title.
