RYA Powerboat Level 2

The RYA Powerboat Level 2 Course, is a 2 day course and is the most popular power boat qualification where you will learn how to launch and recover the boat safely and all about the safety equipment required before you go to sea. You will also be taught how to take charge and moor up the boat alongside. Having mastered the basic manoeuvres, you will go out into open water where you will drive the boat at high speed performing both S and U turns.

Emergency drills will be taught early on in the course, and by the end of it you will be competent in being able to recover a ‘man overboard’.

Those gaining their Level 2 can then apply to the RYA for their ICC ('International Certificate of Competence'). This course usually takes place at a weekend, but can be arranged to suit any requirements.
