Overview
Our RYA Powerboat Level 2 Course provides two days of practical training giving you the practical skills and theoretical knowledge required by the small boat driver. You will learn to drive one of our 6m RIBs at high and low speeds and perfect parking in confined spaces.
RYA Powerboat Level 2 entitles the holder to an International Certificate of Competence (ICC), which is accepted in place of a boat license in many European countries if you are considering chartering a small powerboat abroad. The Powerboat Level 2 is also a requirement for all Windsurfing and Dinghy Instructors.
RYA Powerboat level 2 is a requirement for all crew who drive tenders carried onboard Superyachts. The RYA Powerboat level 2 Course is included within our Superyacht Deckhand and Steward or Stewardess programmes.
The training takes place in the Solent, which provides an ideal environment to develop your powerboating skills with busy and challenging tidal waterways.
Flying Fish can arrange a bespoke course if you want to complete Powerboat Level 2 as a group or as a family of three.
