Rudders Marine Training

The Team: You will be taught by either Sarah or Nick Pollard who are fully qualified Powerboat, Dinghy and Windsurf Instructors who have taught a wide range of courses overseas for over 10 years.

We teach with a complete emphasis on a practical “show & then you try” basis rather than blasting you with loads of theory which can go “in one ear and out of the other”.

Nick also specilises in own boat tuition, either full RYA accredited two day courses or a few hours private tuition to learn specific skills on your own boat. He has taught on a wide range of new and used boats from smaller RIBs, Merry Fisher 1095’s & Axopar 28’s including inboard, outboard and twin outboard.

Our RYA shorebased courses are run in groups smaller than the reccomended ratios ensuring you get a great amount of hands on time.

We offer the following courses:

- RYA Powerboat Level 2

- RYA VHF Radio

- RYA First Aid

- RYA Deisel Engine Maintenance

Hire: Our ribs are available for hire when not being used on courses, you can explore the Haven from Lawrenny to Watwick Bay. We require the skipper to be qualified to RYA Powerboat Level 2. (minimum 1 day hire)

We have 6 paddleboards available for rent from Rudders boatyard - these are inflatable and can be taken offsite.
