Course Pre-Requisites 

The minimum age is 16. Candidates should have logged at least five seasons’ experience of powerboating, preferably in a range of boat types and sizes. For those who use powerboats as an integral part of their normal full-time occupation, this period is reduced to one season. Candidates will hold the RYA’s Level 2 powerboat certificate, a first aid certificate recognized by the RYA, RYA SRC Radio, and be a personal member of the RYA. All potential candidates will be required to carry out a pre-assessment before the course. This is designed to assess your powerboat handling skills. This day is included within the course price.
