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 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 five well equipped training rooms enabling us to simulate all forms of electronic navigation, marine radio, engine maintenance and First Aid scenarios. We also use a swimming pool for life raft training. Although these are essentially shorebased courses they have many practical elements.
