Give your holiday a boost with a RYA powerboat level 2 certificate & our ‘On the water bundle’
Why do you need the RYA Powerboat Level 2 course?
You know the feeling. Walking along the dock or standing on the beach and seeing all the boats on the water.
The first thought you have is ‘That looks fun’. You go off to find yourself a hire company so that you, your friends and family can enjoy some high class, luxury boating yourselves.
Then reality hits. The douche behind the counter asks if you have a boat licence. You say no and receive a smug look from the douche as he offers you an alternative that doesn’t require a licence. The mini putt-putt-putt version of the awesome boats you’ve been watching.
Or worse! He tells you where the pedalos are.
Either way, we know how much that sucks for you. We were there once ourselves. But with our help, you never have to face that situation again.

Why do you need a powerboat level 2 course?
Did you know that you do not need a licence to drive a leisure boat in the UK? It’s true. As a boater you are allowed to go and buy a speed boat and take it out to sea without any training at all.
However, we wouldn’t recommend that path and not just because we’re a training company. It’s nuts!
Firstly, it’s some kind of legacy from us being a traditional sea-faring nation and so it’s still perfectly legal. Secondly, it’s like getting in a car for the first time with no lessons and heading off down the motorway.
There are several examples of who this course is for:
- For example, if you want to hire a power boat then you need this course. It’s unlikely anybody will lend you £50k worth of boat unless you are trained.
- If you are going boating abroad. Foreign countries have their own laws. Most of them demand training and a licence to drive a boat.
- If you are going to buy your own boat. It’s not just sensible, it will help to reduce your insurance premium.
