Location

With decades of experience as both skippers and instructors, our team will ensure you develop the skills and knowledge to master all aspects of motorboat operation.

Time on the water is critical to becoming a great skipper. We aim to maximise your ‘hands-on’ training, ensuring you experience as many activities as possible to build knowledge and skill.
