If your idea of being at sea involves speed and excitement then powerboating will appeal to you.
'Powerboating' in RYA terms covers sports boats, RIBs, dories, launches, and other fast motor driven boats up to 10m. They normally do not have any accommodation or cooking facilities on board.
Powerboating is a fantastic sport with styles of boat to suit everyone, but it is important to be able to handle fast boats safely. A sports boat in the wrong hands could be a lethal weapon!
You need basic knowledge of boat handling, navigation, rules of the road, use of safety equipment, and maintenance of the boat and its engine.
Why not obtain the skills you need while enjoying yourself in the sun on a Greek island?
A one or two day course is the perfect way to find out if you would like boating. As with many sports, being taught properly from the outset can make a huge difference to your competence, safety, and enjoyment.
The courses will give you an understanding of how boats work, the equipment you will need, and the type, style, and design features that you would want on your own boat.
If you are lucky enough to already own your own boat the knowledge you gain will enable you to use your boat safely, to handle it more confidently, and to really enjoy the sport.
If your boat is in the Athens area it is possible to arrange own boat tuition where we provide an instructor to teach you on your own boat.
If you are already an experienced powerboat driver, we can arrange a 1-day test of your competence rather than a full course.
