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. The types of commercial craft requiring this level certification are typically: Charter fishing boats, Small passenger launches, Thrill ride operators, Harbour patrol launches, Construction site safety boats etc.

If you will be using larger boats with accommodation and the capacity to cruise or work further offshore you are likely to need a certificate within the motor cruising programme such as Day Skipper, Coastal Skipper or Yacht master Offshore.
