For the purposes of this scheme ‘powerboat’ is defined as a small powered vessel up to about 8 metres in length and without accommodation. All levels of instruction are covered from the complete novice to the most advanced levels.

1. Powerboat Level 1. This introductory course is now available to 8 to 11 year olds.
2. Powerboat Level 2. Universally recognised as the National certificate of competence in basic boat-handling skills. Adult courses are run many weekends, but we also offer ‘youth’ courses for 12 to 16 year olds.
3. Intermediate Powerboat. Follows on from Level 2, providing the skills and knowledge required for safe cruising under power in daylight.
4. Advanced Powerboat. Now upgraded to provide an introduction to coastal passage making for both leisure and commercial users.
