RYA Powerboat Level 1

£325

A one day course providing a practical introduction to boat handling and Safety in powerboats.
Many students go straight on to Level 2, this is perfectly ok for beginners, but we would recommend an RYA Powerboat Level 1 as a natural start for the more hesitant.

For safeguarding purposes we do not to mix 8 – 16 year old with unknown adults.  Therefore courses for 16 year old’s and under are organised on a 1:1 or family / friend basis as a bespoke or group price.  Please call to discuss dates.

How can I take this course?

  • On our school boat on our timetables.
  • On our school boat, in your group / family of 2 or 3, you choose the dates.
  • On your own boat, we come to you.

Classroom work will be undertaken at the Mendez Marine office.
