RYA Advanced Powerboat

This 2 day course (including at least one night navigation exercise) is for leisure and professional boaters wanting to undertake more adventurous trips by day and night. This course will provide you with an RYA Advanced Powerboat Course Completion certificate. The course is 50% theoretical and 50% practical so the actual course timetable can be tailored to suit the weather conditions if required.

The Advanced Powerboat Certificates of Competence are issued only after an examination by an RYA examiner which is normally taken immediately after your course if you wish; the exam is about the same standard as a Coastal Skipper examination so you need to have completed the Yachtmaster™ / Coastal Skippers Shore based course.

The syllabus includes navigation at planing speed, weather and other aspects of skippering powerboats on more challenging passages in coastal waters. Anybody undertaking this course must have the practical skills of the Intermediate course and knowledge of navigation to at least the standard of the Day Skipper shore based course. Includes tea/coffee & waterproof clothing. £181 exam fee payable to the RYA.
