Wicked 2 days learning to powerboat on the Thames! Expert trainer and perfect location. Would definitely recommend!
Just completed my Powerboat Level 2 course and couldn’t be happier! Huge thanks to Tom for being such a fantastic instructor – full of knowledge, patience, and great energy throughout. I learned so much over the two days and had a lot of fun along the way. I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better instructor.
The powerboating course with Asher was great. He is a patient and kind man. The whole course was well organised and well thought through.
We had a lovely two days on the water with Ash. Learnt so much about power boating and feel confident to ride after this weekend. Was filled with lots of laughter and learning!! Will recommend to friends and family x
A great couple of days in a wonderful environment. Calm, focused and friendly tuition from Ash the company owner. Highly recommended..
You will require roughly 16 hours of Tuition, so both days will be nearly 8 hours long.
Standard course times are 0900 – 1700 with a lunch break of approximatley 60 minutes.
We may finish slightly earlier or later depending on conditions and student progress.
We aim to teach as much as possible outside of the classroom however there are a few hours worth of theory that we must cover. Depending on the weather, we will be out for most of the course.
