RYA Powerboat Level 1

The RYA Powerboat Level 1 course provides an excellent practical introduction to boat handling and safety in powerboats. The minimum age for candidates is 12 years, and those under the age of 16 years will be issued with an endorsed certificate.

It is a one day course where no previous experience is required and is suitable for those persons wishing to try powerboating for the first time, or those who wish to gain some extra knowledge to act as 'a crew member' on a small powerboat.

This is mainly a 'waterborne course' where the majority of the theoretical elements will be covered whilst afloat.
