RYA Powerboat Level 2

The RYA Power Boat Level 2 course provides all the skills and background knowledge needed to drive a powerboat and is the basis for the International Certificate of Competence.

It can also be used as a commercial certificate for taking out passengers, or for insurance purposes.
