Powerboat Handling Course

Go From Licensed to Legendary

You’ve got your boat licence, now what? Let’s be honest: passing the licence test is just the start. Handling swell. Docking with precision. Managing wind. Reacting under pressure. That’s what separates a skipper from a confident captain.

Every Session Includes:

A great few hours on the water with Tristian. He was able
to help me improve my docking skills and gave me the knowledge to understand the dynamics of the boat. Not only is he a good instructor, he was calm and confident and a nice guy too! He’s in high demand so book him ASAP.
