We have an experienced and professional team of instructors that teach: RYA Powerboat Level 1 and 2 and RYA Safety Boat and the International Certificate of Competence

None. But we would recommend you also complete the VHF Radio course, this gives you the license you need to operate the radio onboard.

We train on our solid and stable RIBs (Rigid Inflatable Boats). One of our RIBs is 6m with a 90hp engine, the other is 7m with a 200hp engine.

Maximum 3 persons. Private course are available, please contact us.

Most weekends March to November. We also can schedule private RYA Powerboat Level 2 on our boats.

Yes, we offer Own Boat Tuition in all the RYA courses. We will give you a check list of equipment you will need onboard and we can assign one of our qualified instructors to teach on your boat. If you do not have a berth in Brighton Marina our instructor can travel to your boat.

The courses start from our base in Brighton Marina: Pontoon 6, Brighton Marina, Brighton, East Sussex BN2 5UP, UK.

We provide specialist equipment. In the winter months it can be cold, thermals, fleeces, woolly hats are all useful to have. During the summer months bring sun hats, sun block and sun glasses. Quick drying clothes can be very practical instead of jeans and good none slip, non marking footwear. Trainers often work well. We provide our Musto waterproofs if required. You will need two passport photos for your RYA certificate.

Part of the enjoyment of powerboating is being out in the elements, so it is important to be versatile to make the best of the conditions. If we train on a day due to weather conditions we will endeavour to cover theory and other useful skills such as mooring practice.

At times we might cut short a course in which case you will be offered further days/times at another suitable date.

Yes, in sunny Spain! We offer the RYA Powerboat Level 2 course from our base in central Barcelona. For more information: www.barcelonawatersports.es

Please click here for our full booking terms and conditions and ensure that you understand our cancellation policy.

Be aware rebooking fees are charged for cancellations made with less than 4 weeks notice.

Our cancellation policy applies in all circumstances including no shows, illness, relocation, transport failure and bereavement.

The reason for this is when you make a booking with us we assign staff and equipment to deliver the booking, we are therefore unable to offer that space to anyone else. We will have made commitments to staff for your booking and we may have turned away other bookings. Unfortunately we are unable to get insurance that covers us for this loss. We therefore do not offer refunds for cancellations as we are likely to incur costs.

Course Cancelation Insurance

You can take out insurance to cover the cost of your course against cancellation through CancelSure. Guide cost is £12 for the first £100 of cover and then £6 per additional £100

of cover and an excess of £25 per claim.

Our Advice

• If you pay by credit card your cancellation maybe covered by your credit card provider.
