Students starting their RYA Powerboat 2 course

This  course is largely practical, on board the powerboat. There are some short theory sections to complete. The course provides everything you need to become confident and competent at boat handling whilst being aware of the associated safety considerations and equipment. It is broadly equivalent to a series of driving lessons, but a lot more fun. You may wish to consider following up this course with the Intermediate Powerboat course which covers high-speed navigation and passage-making in far more detail.

The ICC can be added to this qualification for a fee paid to the RYA - read more here
