- Support in working towards doing a desired passages on your own.
- Confidence building for night navigation.
- Developing a working knowledge of live saving equipment, and managing a man overboard situation.
- General management and routine maintenance of a vessel.
- Advanced Power boat examination prep training.
- Pilotage into new destinations.
- Confidence building for skippers and their families.
- Background knowledge, in weather, passage planning, tides, collision regulations, using radar.
Most of our training is delivered in bit size chunks over 2 days. We can do more, however, we find over 4 days straight can be intense, and the ability to retain information decreases. Half days or evening sessions are also possible.
There will only be a maximum of 4 students per boat, and per instructor.
