Brilliant PB2 course with Roy! Thank you!

We did the two day power boat course with Alex this weekend and absolutely loved it. The perfect balance of learning and practical I left feeling confident in my abilities and the skills learned. Alex was engaging throughout and his passion for boating shone through in his knowledgeable teaching and ability to keep us all engaged. I would highly recommend this course and company to all that are looking to take their power boat skills to the next level! ????????

Amazing two days, totally hands on, came away with new skills and respect for tides and weather, our trainer Alex was exceptional, tailoring training for our individual needs. I had no experience and now feel confident to get on the water safely Thank you Solent Training Team!

I’ve just completed the Powerboat Level 2 course with Kevin as my instructor and I couldn’t recommend it more highly! Kevin explained everything clearly and calmly, breaking down not just what to do but also why the boat behaves the way it does. The theory was covered in great detail and his extensive knowledge and experience in boating were second to none. Kevin’s real-life stories and past experiences added so much value to the course and made the learning process genuinely enjoyable. I would highly recommend Solent Boat Training to anyone looking to gain confidence and skills on the water!

Bryan was an excellent tutor, he made everything easy to understand and also incredibly fun. Great knowledge of the subject and happy to answer any questions.

One of the best things I've done, Solent boat training were extremely professional and knowledgeable, with vast experience. We have learnt so much from a week on the Solent with Dom, my confidence has increased beyond my wildest dreams. Cant wait to get started with Day Skipper.

We had an absolute superb couple of days during our intermediate power boat course. We learnt lots of new nav techniques tonight by our very experienced course tutor Sean. Big thanks to all the SBT staff.

Leaving a review after my second spot on experience with SBT. Sam made it a breeze to book, and we had Bryan for our instructor to complete my 13 year old's PB2. Bryan has a huge wealth of knowledge and experience, was very patient, had our learning styles nailed within the first hour, has a great sense of humour and kept it upbeat despite the bad weather in parts - we had blue skies and sun for some, torrential downpour in other, typical UK summer. He didn't bat an eyelid when I informed him at the beginning that my son is autistic either - I might as well have just said the sky is grey for all it bothered him. Bryan had him more engaged than I have ever seen him. I even got a voluntary hug out on the water. From a child that usually goes ram rod straight when physically touched!! Bryan, you are an absolute credit to the SBT team and it was a pleasure to have you as our instructor. Words cannot thank you for the experience you gave my terror - he even said his cheeks hurt from smiling and has probably spoken to me more in two days of training with you than in the whole month before that. You're wonderful. I've also had a day of own boat training with Sam on a Sealine S43. Again, extremely knowledgeable, down to Earth, patient, very easy to work with and can read you like a book with a non-judgmental approach in his teaching. Sam, you're absolutely tip top and certainly have an attention to detail that cannot be denied. Thank you for your patience with me and my nerves. We're both looking forward to more courses with the team.

Good training for the money you pay. Great experience and learnt alot from it and got my PB2 qualification. Had Bryan as my instructor and he's amazing, really patient and has a good teaching style. 10/10 would recommend (11/10 if you have Bryan as an instructor). P.S. Bryan likes Mars bars ????

RYA 5 Day Skipper Practical. A really enjoyable 5 days training with a low student ratio, I had lots of time at the helm, the boat was a 37' Bavaria so great sailing and comfortable for the 5 nights onboard at the various marinas that we had sailed to. Our instructor " Magnus" is an excellent teacher, and most importantly a likeable chap that helped make the the course so good.
