Course Outline

The industry standard, RYA Powerboat Level 2 is the base-level course for anyone operating a RIB or small powerboat This is a two day course and will provide a good foundation on which to build powerboat experience. We aim to spend around 70% of the course in the boat gaining practical skills and the 30% of the course on shore based theory. It covers such topics as:

  • Slow and high speed boat handling
