Training courses from Boatability go well beyond just getting a course completion certificate or a badge. We aim to make sure that you can apply what you learn.

Power boat courses sometimes comes with certificates recognised by the RYA or BSAC. We aim to go beyond this and offer training on essential but frequently overlooked areas. For example trailering and own boat tuition where you will be taught how to handle your trailer or boat taking into account all of its features and capabilities.
