The RYA Powerboat Level 2 course is the UK’s most popular and widely recognised powerboat qualification, ideal for beginners and aspiring powerboat drivers. This practical, hands-on course teaches you how to safely and confidently handle a powerboat, making it perfect for leisure boaters, watersports enthusiasts, anglers, and those working on the water.

Over two action-packed days, you’ll learn essential skills including boat handling at speed, close-quarters manoeuvring, man overboard recovery, collision avoidance, basic navigation, and emergency procedures. Led by fully qualified RYA instructors, the course is taught in small groups to ensure maximum time on the water and personalised coaching.
