RYA POWERBOAT LEVEL 2
The most popular course we do, for those who have just bought a boat and need confidence to go out and handle it safely with the basic knowledge needed, or just to learn and see if it is something they and their family want to take up. If you have your own boat we recommend you do it in that. A largely practical intensive two day course for boat handling and seamanship in small powerboats. The majority of this course is practical and afloat but there will be a need for some theory, we try to do this on the water.
If you have experience we can do a fast track direct assessment course. Have your own boat? we recommend you do the course on it.
You will be required to wear a lifejacket at all times while afloat. We can provide these and waterproofs if required.

£350 per person, max 3 students on each boat, includes Start Powerboating book.
One to one tuition: £595
