RYA Powerboat Level 2

The RYA Powerboat Level 2 is a popular two-day practical course. With no prior experience needed you can quickly become a confident and certified RIB driver.

Our course includes the Coastal Endorsement and covers the skills and background knowledge needed to drive a powerboat confidently and unsupervised. This course also forms the basis of the International Certificate of Competence (ICC – Power).

The course focuses on low-speed close-quarter handling, coming alongside, mooring on a buoy, man overboard recovery as well as an introduction to driving at planning speed plus collision regulations.

After the course, you will be capable of driving a RIB safely, aware of your own limitations and those of the boat.

Format

The two-day course runs 9.30 am – 5.30 pm on both days of chosen course dates. It is run with a minimum of 2 students + instructor and a maximum of 3 students, to ensure you have plenty of opportunities to practice driving. The certificate is based on continual assessment, so there are no exams.

Pre-requisites

There are no course pre-requisites although it is useful to have some basic navigation skills. Students must be aged 16 or over. Students aged 12-16 may take part if accompanied by a parent or guardian and will receive an endorsed certificate.

You should not undertake this course if you are pregnant and we recommend you consult a doctor before booking if you suffer from back problems.
