RYA Powerboat Lessons

RYA Powerboat courses at Shoreham are taught on the sea, not a lake. You'll be on our 6.4m RIBcraft with 200hp on the back, learning in real conditions with tide, wind and open water to work with.

Whether you're a complete beginner or building on what you already know, the courses are practical, hands-on and recognised internationally. You'll cover boat handling, navigation and safety, so you're ready for whatever the day throws at you.

RYA Powerboat Level 2 is the one most people come for. It's the standard qualification for anyone working on the water, and it's what you need for an International Certificate of Competence (ICC). Once you've got it, the Sussex coastline is yours to go and explore.
