I attended Ocean Sports after a recommendation to do my Advanced Powerboat with them. Ian the instructor was on point with the course and really experianced. Facilities and boats are good and modern. Night Nav and unlight location are a very good learning curve especially in the solent.

World Class professionals, standards & customer experience Exceptional instruction, safety standards and customer experience delivered by highly skilled professionals. Andy Murray, the manager, went above and beyond, with service excellence, offering me exceptional, unique, personalised development and coaching, which I completed with Andy and Josh to further develop my knowledge, skills and confidence. I completed both my PB2 (Instructors: Ollie and Ramos) and PB Intermediate (Instructors: Andy and Trish) with Ocean Sports Tuition. We also completed a fantastic Axopar experience with Andrew, At first I was apprehensive and all the Instructors were extremely welcoming, patient and understanding (and offered refreshments). All the Instructors were first class and Ocean Sports is a stand out organisation in terms of exemplary professionals and standards in all areas.

RYA PB2 Course Review I recently took the PB2 course, couldn't recommend it enough. All the staff were friendly and helpful. The course was well organised with good facilities and great boats. Sharon was a great instructor and enabled me to get lots out of the two day course, keeping us safe and building my confidence and skills. Well done all.
