It was great fun an learned so much
Thank to Mark, very good trainer
Fantastic course led by a great instructor. Highly recommend, Matt. Great facilities, food included. Pleasant and peaceful surroundings.
It was a great experience and I definitely recommend as all of the staff are lovely and I had a fun time
The course was excellent from start to finish, anyone that’s into boating or thinking about boating try this course. It has gave me the skills and confidence to buy my own boat and drive it comfortably on both the lakes and sea. Excellent value for money.
The course was very well run and information was clearly passed on to the group. Matt, who ran the course, was excellent. He really looked after us and made the two days fun and easy to follow. I’d highly recommend, especially for the breakfast and lunch
Power Boat Level 2 with Robin and Mat . Great course- loads of practical experience on the water in 2 Ribs . Heavy emphasis on safety and handling skills . Good theory too in the classroom. Thanks guys!
Matt and Robin were friendly and knowledgeable instructors - thankyou.The 2-day course itself was great and ran very smoothly.I felt we could have had a little more \'higher speed\' practice but the conditions on our second day weren\'t very good.The pre-course information was too sparse for me - I found…
One of the best things I’ve ever done. Robin and Matt are a credit to the place and made sure every aspect of the course was just perfect
