RYA ICC for Powerboats Under 10m
The RYA ICC for Powerboats Under 10 meters, allows holders to Skipper a Powerboat of up to 10m in length in many International waters.
Proof of competence can be gained by completing a Direct Assessment (as mentioned above) or, by far the most cost-effective way, is by successful completion of the "RYA Powerboat Level 2 Course" . This course is run over 2 consecutive days, at a cost starting from £199 per person and is available from our Southampton-based Training Centre.
In summary, on completing the RYA Powerboat Level 2 course, UK citizens may apply for their ICC certificate directly through the RYA. We also offer a 1-day RYA ICC Direct Assessment, starting at £499, for those who feel they already have the knowledge and skills required.

For those that feel they may require additional brush-up training prior to the Direct Assessment, we offer a 2-Day ICC Motorboat (over 10m) Preparation and Direct Assessment package.

Don't Forget Your SRC - VHF Operators Licence
As a Skipper , it is vital that you can communicate correctly, effectively and with confidence. This will ensure the safety of yourself, your crew and others around you. Having an understanding of how and when to make that important call, as well as utilising one of the most important elements of your boats safety equipment, is a skill which can not be overlooked.
