TESTIMONIALS
Many thanks for a most enjoyable and interesting ‘Sea Survival’ course this last weekend; also for the warm welcome and hospitality shown to me by all at Ocean Sports. I feel that I have gained a great deal from this course, and especially by the superb way in which it was conducted by the tutor.
I intend taking my ‘advanced’ course in the near future – probably early next spring; Ocean will be my first choice for venue, and I will contact you to book nearer the time if this is okay.
Again, many thanks for an enjoyable course.

My husband and daughter just completed the powerboat level 2 course on July 16-17. They said it was a great course, good communications with Andy prior to the course beginning and excellent tuition on the day (thanks Jack) and would recommend to all. Time to buy a boat!

Just did the RYA Powerboat 2 course with Peter as the instructor. I would encourage anyone thinking of doing it to go for it. It's amazing how much you can pick up in two days and come away feeling much more confident in taking a boat out instead of not really knowing what you are doing.

Have just completed Powerboat Level 2, with my wife and a mate. Andy was very welcoming, everything well organised. Immaculate RIB supplied for the course. Our instructor Kerry Murray, was excellent. We all thoroughly enjoyed the two days and gained a great deal of new knowledge. I will happy recommend to anyone thinking about courses.
