"Solent Boat Training" is an RYA recognised advanced powerboat, motor / sail yacht cruising and classroom theory courses training centre with a fleet of ribs, motor cruisers, sailing yachts and jet skis that are solely owned by our company and moored within Southampton`s Ocean Village marina. We are the Ocean Village marinas official partner in delivering the RYA active marina programme, so the first choice of the marinas berth holders for any RYA training. Our classroom even overlooks the marina, so with all the other features on hand such as hotels and restaurants your time with us will be a very pleasant. We also offer a complete online availability & booking system for all our courses.
We run our Level 1 & Level 2 powerboat courses on any of our 3 Ribcraft boats. Intermediate & Advanced courses are run on either our 6.5m Redbay Stormforce or our 8.4m Redbay Stormforce ribs. All these boats are MCA commercially coded vessels for day and night use up to 20 miles from land, far more than we actually require for these RYA powerboat courses. We also run a complete range of commercial endorsement training courses.
