Course Information
To provide a practical introduction to boat handling and safety in a powerboat.
Over the course of the day we will give you as much driving (helming) time as possible. There is a maximum of three candidates per course.
Powerboat Driving Skills on the water
From our base at Southampton Dry Stack we can practice slow speed boat manoeuvres and seamanship skills as we head down the River Itchen to Southampton Water, practicing planing skills (high speed manoeuvres).
Whilst heading back to base, we will introduce you to some of the course content of the RYA Powerboat Level 2 course.
COVID-19. Booking Powerboat Courses
It is essential that you read our COVID-19 information page prior to booking your course, you can read it Here.
RYA Powerboat courses are taught on a 3:1 basis that means 3 customers and one Instructor.
Currently we are only teaching 'Family Bubbles' or One to One' basis we have to manage what the group make up of 3 is.
We can teach a Family Bubble of up to 3 people or alternatively teach you on a one to one basis. Unfortunately we are not mixing Non Family Bubbles ie Mr and Mrs Smith and Mr Jones.
There is a minimum booking number of 2 participants for this course, to make the course viable we are pricing the course at £120.00 per person which covers the Powerboat, fuel, Instructor, life jacket, certification and free use of our Musto Gore-Tex Offshore waterproofs etc.
So, it might be best to get your family bubble to sign up for the course and fill the 3 places, or if you only want 2 places or One to One tuition then you will get more time driving the boats and more individual attention from the Instructor.
"Great environment for training/Great facilities.
Good and thorough instructor.
COVID-19 Aware - full PPE available.
Excellent Health and Safety expertise/equipment"
