New to Boat Handling? Start with a 2-day RYA Powerboat Level 2 course. available throughout the year. (Ask about RYA PB Level 1, a 1-day family course, from age 8)

Level up your skills and go further with  a 2-day RYA Intermediate Powerboat (Day Cruising) or RYA Advanced Powerboat (Day and Night) course.

Protecting the planet: By using HVO instead of petrol, our net carbon emissions are reduced by about 96%. All the carbon we emit has previously been taken out of the atmosphere by the plants that produced the fuel.
