Great experience. Very knowledgeable instructor. On enclosed boats so really made a difference in early March, plus closer to what I currently have.
All good great day !
Jason and Steven were very helpful in training me, despite the bad weather we had on the day. Would highly recommend to anyone wishing to become a powerboat captain.
Nice day learning how to drive a motorboat, friendly and helpful instructors, will be booking my intermediate soon.
Jason was an excellent tutor - spot on with health and safety such practicing ‘man over board’ and giving patient instruction on how to berth without ramming the pontoon too hard (especially in the wind which was fierce at times).
The best time ever !!! I would happily pay again to have this training session with Jason
Top Course, Jason was brilliant and the course was much more in depth than expected, I’d highly recommend
We had a thoroughly enjoyable time on the course. Good fun and a knowledgeable instructor Jason
