RYA Powerboat Level 2 ICC Course Coastal Course
Our PB2 courses run on full sea going boats that includes actually taking you to sea. We cover marina skills, close quarter handling and much more, then we go to sea and run real routes just like you will in real life. Also our low ration courses only have 3 students per course.
We feel that training on a boating lake is hardly preperation for going to sea
If you dream about boating abroad then the level 2 course also allows you can apply for the RYA ICC (International Certificate of Competence*) which is a legal requirement to helm a boat of up to 10m in length in many countries outside the UK. So it`s the perfect course for anyone new to power boating or wanting to improve with some professional tuition. We teach the course to anyone over 12 years of age but under 16`s must be accompanied by a parent or guardian attending the same course. A free voucher to attend the one day RYA VHF Radio Course is included for all our students.
The course runs over 2 consecutive days, prices from £199 depending on the time of year.
