RYA Certified Training Courses

Motorboat Course Packages

Q: What is a course package?

A tailored bundle of three motorboat courses scheduled to suit you, with 20% off compared with booking each one separately.

Q: What’s in the Complete Confidence Package?

Motor Boat Power Handling (1 Day), Night Experience, and Berthing Skills — a rounded mix of day handling, night pilotage and marina skills.

Q: Can you customise the bundle?

Yes. Tell us your goals (e.g., charter prep, own-boat confidence) and we’ll shape dates, order and emphasis.

Q: Do I need previous experience?

No formal prerequisites. We adapt coaching to your level; absolute beginners are welcome.

Q: Own-boat or school boat?

Either. We can run days on our school boat or on your own vessel (subject to safety and equipment).

Q: Where do courses run?

Usually Hamble Point Marina, Southampton (SO31 4NB), with Solent itineraries. Other pick-ups by arrangement.

Q: How is the discount applied?

Book the three courses together and we apply 20% off the combined price at confirmation.

Q: Is this an RYA qualification?

These are training/coaching days (not a single qualification). Where relevant, individual days map to RYA skills and recommended pathways.

Q: How many people can attend?

Small groups for maximum helm time (typically up to 4 on the school boat). Own-boat numbers depend on coding and safe capacity.

Q: How do I get started?

Enquire online or call 07960 694 572. We’ll confirm objectives, dates and boat choice, then issue your discounted plan.

Customer Reviews

“Cloud Nine is a fantastic boat that handles the sea well-lots of power to get on the plane and kept going if you wanted it. My wife who is not the most confident boater said she wasn’t worried as the boat always felt planted to the water. Rob is a really great guy very laid back and gives you confidence going over the boat and its equipment to give you a great day out on the water.”

“Rob skippered us and our 35ft Sailboat from Portishead to Falmouth. We encountered weather and issues on the boat which without Rob’s leadership, skill and confidence would have caused us to turn back. On the 36 hour journey Rob was consistently professional and friendly, providing coaching and friendly pointers throughout. The entire journey felt like a very easy lesson and we will benefit for many years to come from Rob’s advice and the simple standards he set aboard. Can’t thank him enough and will definitely be in touch in future!.”
