The Ocean Sports Tuition Fleet
All our RYA powerboat courses are run on our 6.8 metre Ribcraft RIB ‘Still No Worries’, powered by a 2 litre 2018 Suzuki 200hp four stroke engine with individual pod style seats for everyone or our 7.8 metre Ribcraft, ‘Dark N Stormy’ powered by a powerful 250hp engine. Both boats are stored in the dry stack at Saxon Wharf Marina in Southampton.
The RYA Powerboat Scheme
The RYA powerboat scheme consists of six courses:
- RYA Powerboat Level One
- RYA Powerboat Level Two
- RYA Safety Boat – Available on request
- RYA Tender Operators course
- RYA Intermediate Power Boat
- RYA Advanced Power Boat
On completion of the RYA powerboat level two course you can then bare boat charter one of our boats, in other words you self skipper and use the boat as though it was your own, choosing your destinations and what you do with your day. This is an excellent way to extend your new qualification with independent time on the water.
Next Steps
For those looking for the next challenge after completing the RYA Powerboat level 2 course, we would highly recommend the RYA Basic Navigation course. Students who are looking to venture further afield or go out in more challenging conditions should consider coupling this course with the RYA Intermediate powerboat course before progressing to the pinnacle of the powerboat scheme – RYA Advanced powerboat course. Whichever course you decide on, we strive to offer you the best possible tuition, using our knowledge and expertise to achieve your boating goals.
Course Costs
All our RYA powerboat course prices are inclusive of fuel, moorings, RYA powerboat handbooks (where applicable) and free use of waterproofs.
If you have your own boat, we also offer any of our courses on your own craft from £250 per day plus VAT for up to three students.
