This is the most popular course that we teach. This course suits those new to boating who want to develop the base skills as well as those who have boated for a while but who want to ensure they are approaching their boating the right way.

Course DURATION
2 days from 9am to 5pm.

INSTRUCTOR – STUDENT RATIO
Maxiumum 3 students to 1 Instructor. You often will find that you learn as much from watching another student execute a manoeuvre as you do from doing it yourself.

MINIMUM AGE
We are generally happy for a child over 12 to attend a course with their parent/guardian on our boats at any time – please call to discuss. Children over 16 can attend a normal course at any time but we must have the parent/guardian’s specific permission – please call to discuss. If you want a child of under 16 to attend on their own then they must attend one of our dedicated Children’s Courses.

COURSE DATES
We run these courses throughout the year on weekdays and weekends. However if you are a commercial or government organisation or a group of people, then we can organise a course to suit you.

NOTE: course requires minimum numbers to run, if these are not met the course will be rescheduled and we will either move you to another course or refund you.
