RYA Powerboat Level 1

A fun way to get afloat for the day, ideal if the kids are bored on a sailing boat or if you are staying ashore somewhere and wish to see more of our beautiful islands. You’ll get to drive our powerboat with tuition from one of our instructors, and learn basic skills and safety measures. On completion of the course you will be able to drive a powerboat under the supervision of an experienced helmsman, and be a useful crew on any powerboat.
