The RYA Level 1 Start Powerboating course introduces beginners to the basics of powerboat handling. Participants learn low-speed maneuvers, safety checks, and launching and recovering powerboats. Delivered in a practical, hands-on format, this one-day course builds foundational skills and confidence, preparing participants for the Level 2 Powerboat Handling course.

The RYA Level 2 Powerboat Handling course is a comprehensive two-day program that teaches participants the skills needed to operate powerboats confidently and safely. This course covers high-speed maneuvers, docking, navigation, and emergency procedures. Participants practice practical skills such as anchoring, recovering a man overboard, and handling various water conditions. Successful completion allows participants to apply for an International Certificate of Competence (ICC), making it a vital qualification for both recreational and professional powerboat operators.

The RYA Powerboat Intermediate course bridges the gap between Level 2 and advanced powerboating. Participants learn navigation, passage planning, and handling powerboats in moderate conditions. The course includes practical exercises on anchoring, docking, and responding to emergencies. This program is ideal for those seeking to improve their skills and prepare for more challenging boating environments or advanced qualifications.

The RYA Powerboat Advanced course is designed for experienced powerboaters operating in challenging conditions, including night navigation. Participants learn advanced passage planning, navigation, and high-speed handling in adverse weather. The course emphasizes safety, decision-making, and the use of radar and electronic aids. By the end, participants will have the confidence to operate powerboats independently in demanding environments.
