Level 1 - Introduction to Powerboating

This course is for those who are complete beginners. You need never have stepped on board any type of boat before. It is designed to give you the basic skills to operate a powerboat, but does not take you to a level where you can get a recognised 'licence' such as the International Certificate of Competence.

It's a good starting point if you feel that you need a really basic course, or if you'll only be driving a boat occasionally with a more experienced person on board.

It is also suitable for children of 8 years and above who will be driving under the supervision of an adult.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:

Powerboat Level 1 is a one day introductory course. You'll learn basic boat handling - starting/stopping, steering controls, leaving and coming alongside, together with the 'rules of the road' for boat users and some basic knots. The course will also cover personal safety afloat.

Although this is a course, you will have an enjoyable day while learning a new skill. You’ll visit a local taverna and there will be time to stop for a swim, snorkel, and sunbathe while at anchor in a pretty bay.
