Powerboat School

Overview

This fun, challenging and very popular two-day course provides the skills and theory required for driving powerboats such as RIBs (rigid hull boats), open day-boats and any kind of sports boat up to 10m. We provide group-training sessions (maximum of 3) or If you already have lots of experience driving powerboats, speak to us about the one-day Powerboat Level 2 direct assessment enquire here

The course comprises a theory component and lots of fun on the water practicing low-speed and close-quarters handling, man overboard recovery and an introduction to basic high-speed manoeuvres.

At Mourne Powerboat School we are passionate about training and we’d love to teach you whether you’re a beginner – embarking on your new adventure – or an experienced boater looking to gain an RYA ICC qualification you can be assured we have the correct course to meet your needs.

An added bonus to this is that many insurance companies now ask for a level of training to insure pleasure boats or if you are heading away on holidays and wish to do a bit of power boating in Europe or further afield, you will need minimum level 2 with ICC. If you are looking to use the certificate for work, you can move towards getting your Level 2 commercially endorsed RYA PPR course.

Our practical, exciting course, takes place with all the facilities of a top class marina and on coastal seas, making it an active and fun learning experience.

We are a recognised RYA training centre and our boat is coded to the highest spec with the MCA Cat 4. All of our instructors are highly qualified with a wealth of local knowledge to navigate and teach practical courses.

We have a dedicated classroom with charts, training props, video content, training manuals & books. We also have changing rooms, shower facilities, tea & coffee facilities and on site parking
