RYA Powerboat Courses
With our excellent range of craft and fully qualified Powerboat Instructors DWSC is the perfect place to gain Power boating Qualifications so close to London. For anyone wishing to own or run a Powerboat, RYA Powerboat Level 2 (PB2) is swiftly becoming the “Driving Licence” of Powerboating with many Insurers and Marinas asking for it along with any RYA Instructor Qualifications. For people with prior Powerboating experience we run a PB2 Direct Assessment over 2 hours (10am to 12am).
RYA Safety Boat teach’s the holder how to deal with many different situations on the water in a safe and professional way whether it is righting a capsized dinghy or saving a stranded windsurfer. PB2 and Safety Boat are run over 2days from 10am to 5pm. You must bring a passport photo for certification (required).
RYA Powerboat Level 1 & 2 Course 2 days
£160 (Members) £280 (Non-Members)
The standard Start Powerboating course is either run over 2 days for those who haven’t driven before or as a direct assessment for those who have experience driving. Most sailing clubs including DWSC ask for Powerboat Level 2 to drive their powerboats and it is increasingly becoming the standard in the UK. Courses will run from 9.30 to 4.30 for the full course or 9.30 to 12.30 for the direct assessment.
Powerboat Driving Progression
To become a good powerboat driver and get experience before doing RYA Safety Boat or any of the advanced courses we offer a chance to do this during large sailing events and regattas. This would be on a RIB with a qualified safety boat driver and will give you a good amount of time at the wheel. Please call the office on 01753 683872 if you would like to get experience in this way.
