Powerboat Training UK is a professional RYA Training Centre
Powerboat Training UK is a professional but family run RYA Training Centre running the full range of RYA Powerboat Training Courses, Motorboat Training Courses, Shorebased and PWC Training Courses. We are also recognised by the Maritime & Coastguard Agency (the ‘MCA’) as one of their training centres and are approved and audited by the Scottish Qualification Authority (the ‘SQA’) as one of their UK training centres.
In tandem with our sister schools – Aquasafe & Marine Education – our focus is on fun, safe and inspiring training. Our main training bases are in Poole and Solent but we also train people on their own boats throughout the UK, Europe, America, the Caribbean and even in the Middle East. We run courses throughout the year in all weather conditions.

Our clients range from leisure boaters with their first speedboat or ‘jetski’ to clients who have owned boats for many years and now have four berth family cruiser type powerboats or larger 20m motor cruisers.
We also train a wide range of commercial clients such as those helming for windfarms, crew transfer vessels, pilot and harbour patrol vessels alongside those for construction projects or working in marinas. We are also one of the few sub 24m specialist schools to be recognised to teach the MCA Small Ships Navigation & Radar course.
We work with a wide range of military and law enforcement organisations training them both in basic boat handling and more specialist areas such as boarding operations, search and rescue and helicopter transfers.
We hope this site gives you an insight into how we approach our RYA powerboat, motor cruising and personal watercraft/jetski courses and our shorebased and theory courses. That said, no site can ever give you the full picture so do please give us a call or drop us an email or pop in for a coffee – we love to talk boats & training!
