The one-day RYA Level 1 Start Powerboating course is a fantastic practical introduction to boat handling and safety in powerboats.

Covering launch and recovery, preparing the boat and crew, boat handling, picking up and securing to a buoy, leaving and coming alongside. No previous experience is required and at the end of the day, you should be comfortable helming under supervision.

Perfect for novices or crew members wanting to contribute more to their time on the water, the entry-level course can be completed on a centre vessel or your own craft. It’s also a great introduction for younger crew members, with a minimum age of eight-years-old.
