Commercial training is at the heart of the Marine Matters training experience where we provide RYA/MCA commercial training for superyacht crews, wind farm operatives, Marine Police, Royal Navy, The Border Force, Environment Agency and Harbour Authorities to name a few. Training can be provided for just one member of staff or the whole company - on your vessel or ours. MCA Training

RYA Family Training Courses

RYA Family Training Courses are a Marine Matters specialty. Ensuring that you are all involved in family training in a safe way with the assistance of one of our professional RYA instructors is the key to family boating success. Watch your children grow in confidence before your eyes as they learn new skills, from as young as 8 years old. Own boat and bespoke training

Training onboard your own vessel can be provided at a time suitable to you, making it the perfect choice for gaining certification and experience aboard a familiar boat in familiar waters. Practical & theory courses can be provided, whether they be part of the RYA programme or completely individual to meet your needs.
