RYA Powerboat Level 1

The RYA Level 1 Powerboat course is a 1 day course to introduce you to the very basics of boat handling. It is generally recommended for those who may normally only be a passenger / children or those who may want the confidence to occasionally handle a boat in the absence of the skipper.

Useful Information

Our courses are ran in rain or shine and conditions can change quickly, especially out at sea, therefore you will need warm clothing and a waterproof jacket as a minimum. We also advise boots or trainers you don't mind getting wet! Sun screen and a hat are also highly recommended.

You will need to bring some lunch and drinks as there are no shops nearby.

We operate from La Collette Marina where there are toilet and shower facilities.
