  A very enjoyable and informative course. The practical sessions are invaluable and you came away feeling confident about having to use a marine radio, particularly in an emergency. I'd recommend this hands on course with a very knowledgeable and experienced instructor.

  A fantastic week of training by Jamie. The facilities are first class, there is a lot of information to take in over the course of 5 days but the course is structured so well that the information sinks in day by day so that come Friday when you sit the exam you will have all the information you need to pass. A great experience and i would recommend anyone thinking about the day skipper theory course to book it with Get lost Powerboat training.

  Highly recommend Get Lost Powerboat to everyone! The company is so personal and friendly, I had a limited schedule and due to bad weather the course was set to be cancelled but they did all they could to cater for me which was so kind!

Nathan is a great instructor. He gave such clear and informative instructions that were easy to follow and made the whole day really fun and enjoyable. We had both rain and sun during our training and the wet weather didn't ruin our experience at all.

Thank you to Emily and Noel for all your help. GET YOUR POWERBOAT TRAINING HERE PEOPLE!!

  Get Lost is the perfect team for your boating certification. Their classroom is a 2-min walk from the boat and there is  a car park around the corner. They perfectly balance theory and practical (with most of the time on the boat). Emily was not just a great instructor but great fun too. Can’t recommend these guys enough.

  Fantastic course (level two powerboat) Emily was a great instructor. Brilliant rib, quality kit and everything explained so you learn properly. Started as a complete novice and now could confidently take a boat to water with the skills we’ve learnt. Would recommend to anyone. Great people.
