RYA Powerboat Level 2

This is the National Powerboat Certificate, the driving licence of the power boating world, and by far our most popular course. This exciting course provides you with the skills and background knowledge needed to become a competent powerboat driver. The bay, Scolt Head island, two harbours and the opportunity to navigate between them make this a thoroughly demanding and enjoyable course.

This is also the ‘gateway’ for all the varied disciplines in the water sports industry including RYA watersports (Dinghy/Powerboat/Windsurfing) instructors, Canoe/Kayak umpire, Ski Boat Driver, Life Savers and Dive boat drivers. We can point you in the right direction. Please see our instructor pages for more information.

Successful candidates may apply for the International Certificate of Competence on completion of this course. This allows the holder to drive powerboats abroad. (a fee is payable on application unless you are an RYA member).
