RYA Powerboat Tuition, Hire and Paddleboard

You will be taught by either Sarah or Nick Pollard both of which are Senior RYA Instructors and between them instruct a wide range of courses including:

• Powerboat
• VHF SRC
• First Aid
• Diesel Engine Maintenance
• Dinghy & Keelboat
• Windsurfing

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.

On the water we only teach a maximum of three pupils at once per boat, for shore based courses we teach below the maximum allowed ratios to ensure you learn and understand the course.

If you dream about boating abroad then the level 2 course also allows you to apply for the RYA International Certificate of Competence (ICC) which is a legal requirement to helm a boat in many countries outside the UK. So it’s the perfect course for anyone new to power boating or wanting to improve with some professional tuition. If you join or are already a member of the RYA, you can then obtain the ICC for free.

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.

As a family run business we will always go above and beyond, so please get in touch with any questions you have.
