Book on and enjoy the course
"I would very much recommend the school, great communication from the start, fantastic day out. Richard has lots of great knowledge to share with you all.
Just in case anyone is nervous about launching your ski for the first time, the school have already thought about this and can very quickly and efficiently get your ski launched.
Fiona had arranged for us to go and see the Harbourmaster after our course to get our permit.
This was done straight after PWC course and we walked away with the permit for the harbour also. Very much worth getting on the day so you’re able to use the harbour solo.
Book on and enjoy the course."

Excellent instruction backed up with so much local knowledge
“A massive thank you from myself and my son Harry, we had a great weekend completing our PB2 course with Richard. Excellent high standard instruction backed up with so much local knowledge and all pitched at just the right level for a 12 year old and a 58 year old to soak it all up. Have already been recommending you to friends, thanks again."

Professional and Fun. Throughly recommended
The Powerboat Level 2 course is run professionally and is fun to do. I have been sailing and on rescue boat duties for the last 40 years and I learnt so more about boat handling, standards and health and safety issues, drilling in good habits.
The setting is excellent with good free parking at the site, tea/coffee, a toilet on site and a very good quality rib to learn on.
Our instructor was Alfie who was excellent. He brought the group close together over the two days, encouraged us and we all left more confident and with a much better understanding of operating a Powerboat in coastal waters.
I would thoroughly recommend Seahorse Marine School.
