RYA Intermediate Powerboat

If you’re thinking of being more adventurous and going further afield, then the RYA Intermediate Powerboat Course is the natural progression from the RYA Powerboat Level 2 as it aims to teach Powerboating up to the standard required to plan a passage, and complete a day cruise on coastal waters during daylight hours.

The RYA Intermediate Powerboat Course aims to provide a level of training to suit the more frequent user, and in more advanced conditions. The two-day Power-boating Course involves a coastal passage, and covers practical use of daytime pilotage and passage planning skills, using both traditional and electronic navigational techniques on coastal waters.
