Conducted over two days, the RYA Level Two award assumes no previous knowledge, but is designed to provide thorough instruction and coverage of powerboat handling techniques. The course includes low-speed and high-speed manoeuvering as well as the background knowledge needed to use a powerboat safely.

The RYA Level Two Powerboat Certificate is recognised by the UK MCA as a 'tender driving licence' for professional yacht crew and can be commercially endorsed.

It also allows UK residents or citizens to apply for the International Certificate of Competence for power vessels up to 10 metres in length.

The RYA Levels Two National Powerboat Certificate is also considered equivalent to the French Permis Cotier and allows a non French resident to use a French registered boat.

Course fee 510 Euros (all inclusive)
NEW! Includes a free copy of the RYA 'Start Powerboating' course notes.

The Level 2 certificate can also be awarded after a direct assessment for candidates with at least one full seasons powerboating experience. Please contact us for details.
