Welcome to Mendez Marine - The Specialist in Powerboat Training

Based on the River Hamble with direct access to the Solent, Mendez Marine is the Sea School with a difference! Yes, we are an RYA Training Centre, but we specialise in Motor and Powerboat courses.

In addition to the full RYA training syllabus for powerboats all the way up to Yachtmaster, we specialise in bespoke training. This could be as "simple" as a day's refresher on your own boat through to assisted passages anywhere in the world.

Our clients have vessels from 8 to 80 feet and include everybody from the leisure boater to police forces, the military and other commercial operations requiring a high standard of instruction and qualification for their water based staff. No matter who you are, our courses may be demanding, but they will be a fun element as well. After all, boating is about relaxation, not stress!

All our instructors are chosen not just for their teaching and boat handling skills but just as importantly, their sense of humour. Many of clients build such a rapport with their instructor that they keep coming back as clients and as friends.

Whatever course you choose to do with us, be it an RYA qualification or just some basic skills either on the water or shore based, you can be assured of professional training in a fun and friendly environment and on high quality equipment.
