Just finished a 2 day Powerboat 2 course at SBT and cannot recommend highly enough. From the moment we arrived to the end of the course we were utterly impressed by everyone at SBT. Our course instructor Matt was brilliant ( and incredibly patient) and I felt it was one of the best learning courses I have been on. The location, equipment, communication and overall high standards were incredible. I cannot recommend highly enough.

Hi Andrew, Thank you for your review, recommendation and encouraging words for your instructor. We hope we will see you for further courses in the near future. SBT Team 13/05/2025
Solent Boat Training is conveniently located at Shamrock Quay and has plenty of parking for day and week-long courses. The level of instruction is excellent: I did my Comp Crew and my Day Skipper with them. As well as my VHF training. And I’ve also enjoyed Marina skills, mile-building and most recently (April), a refresher on Sail Trim. Our instructor Dom was brilliant. Incredibly patient, highly knowledgable, fun and a great skipper. I learnt so much from him that day: from watching the direction of flotsam to better reefing skills. Excellent training company with superb staff who have a passion for sailing, and are excellent instructors. Highly recommended!

Gina, Thank you for some great pictures and your glowing review. We are delighted that you have chosen SBT for so many of your training courses and very much look forward to seeing you again soon. Happy & Safe Boating until then. SBT Team 13/05/2025
I have just completed my Power Boat Level 3 (my second on water course here) with instructor Bryan. Another BRILLIANT 2 days, the quality of the boat, the course content and patient (and entertaining!) instruction was second to none. I'm currently doing my RYA Navigation/Seamanship booked with the guys and I'm back in September for a power boat refresher and my VHF - and with plans being made for Day Skipper and then sailing. Having been with a different school previously - these guys are THE BEST... thanks all....lisa

My son and I recently completed our powerboat level 2 course with Solent boat training. We were both impressed with the content of the course and the professionalism and friendly attitude of the staff. Thanks to Bryan, who ran the course.

A massive thank you to Roy our instructor for the 2 day PB2 course under his guidance and with only 3 students every individual got all the help needed, it was a fun filled 2 days with theory to start the morning session and then the rest of the time on the water, loved this 2 days course as Roy had made it so intresting and banter and great time, amazing feeling to come away with an RYA licence at the end of the 2 day course. Thanks again to Roy a great instructor, will be seeing you in the future as got more courses planned to do with SBT. Thanks to solent boat training. Angel Taylor

My son recently completed his powerboat level 2 course with Solent boat training. My husband and I were very impressed with the structure and content of the course as well as the professionalism and friendly attitude of the staff. My son was very happy with his trainer Roy and felt that he was very helpful and taught him a lot, he has come away very confident with his boating skills. I would absolutely recommend Solent boat training.
