RYA Tender Operator Course

This new course has been introduced because of the demand from the Super Yacht industry and has been a collaboration between the RYA and the PYA (Professional Yachting Association). This course has been designed to follow the RYA Power Boat Level 2 course and will teach students the ability to transfer crew and guests to and from the mother ship by day and night time.

Although the course is aimed at the super yacht industry, Ocean Sports Tuition feels this is also the perfect course for students who have attended the RYA Power Boat Level 2 that would like to gain a bit more day and night time experience before attending the RYA Advanced Power boat course.
