What you need to get your yacht recognised to run this course:

A crew member trained as an RYA PWC Instructor
One or more PWCs and relevant equipment. (Please see equipment checklists below)
An operations manual stating how PWC operations take place onboard.
Safety cover in the form of a powerboat or tender. (Please see equipment checklists below)

We offer a complete service including training instructors and assistance to complete the process of RYA recognition, including your operations manual.

Training onboard

PWC Instructor courses can also be arranged on-board so that the Yachts crew can deliver the RYA Introduction to PWC Safety course. On board tuition minimises disruption to the Yachts routine as key crew members can remain onboard during re-fit and ship yard periods. We can also use the time to advise in setting the Yacht up as an RYA Training Centre.

Requirements to run this course onboard your yacht :

You must have a minimum of 3 candidates (maximum 6)*
The yacht must be registered as an RYA Recognised Training Centre or have applied for RYA recognition.*
Permission to use PWCs must be obtained from the local authority or harbour master.
