Originally intended for operators responsible for ferrying passengers between Superyachts and the shore, this course is very useful for anyone operating a powerboat day or night with responsibility for carrying passengers.

The course includes plenty of time to practice working with a crew member and operating short-handed. In navigation terms, the emphasis is on short ship-to-shore transfers by day and at night.

Candidates should be competent to the standard of RYA Powerboat Level 2 Powerboat Handling. It is strongly recommended that candidates hold a first aid and VHF / SRC operators certificate. Must be aged 17+
