Powerboating blends relaxed cruising with high speed excitement. RYA training gives you the skills and confidence to enjoy the water safely — whether for leisure or commercial use.
No matter how you like to get out on the water, our RYA Navigation Theory courses (RYA Day Skipper to the RYA Yachtmaster Offshore) will give you the knowledge to do it safely and with confidence. With flexible classroom options, it’s easy to find a format that fits the way you learn.
The RYA First Aid course has been specifically developed for people who spend time on the water.
This one day classroom course is delivered by instructors with extensive boating experience.
It’s a key requirement for leisure boaters and those working commercially.
If you have a VHF radio on your boat or even carry a handheld set while kayaking or paddle boarding, you are legally required to hold an operator’s licence.
A VHF radio is a vital piece of safety equipment, and understanding the correct procedures is essential.
