This 4 day course aboard a twin engine motor cruiser will practically teach pilotage, navigation, seamanship and boat handling, to the standard required to skipper a motor cruiser safely by day in tidal waters. You will receive an introduction to making a night passage and be able to apply for your ICC certificate on successful completion.

My future teaching dates*: Sept 25-28th, Nov 27-30th, March 26-29 2026

This 5 day shorebased course offers the true foundation knowledge for all seafarers. You will cover off Safety, Chartwork, Buoyage, Collision Regulations, Navigation and so much more in preparation for your Day Skipper Practical Course, Motor or Sail. In my opinion, this should be a prerequisite for all practical courses to add huge value and safety to leisure boating.

My future teaching dates*: Nov 10-14th, Jan 9-11, 17 & 18th (split weekends), 26-30th Jan, March 6-8, 14 & 15th 2026

This 1 day course is a great way of revising ‘parking the boat’ and ‘tieing on the lines’ whilst learning new skills aboard our twin engine motor cruiser. This day is focused on being in a marina and building confidence at the time that causes most boaters 95% of their anxiety. We keep it simple and get you ready for the UK waters or, that Mediterranean charter week!

My future teaching dates*: Sept 24th, Nov 26th, Mar 25th 2026

* Other dates are available but, not with myself

Many other courses available taught by myself in Powerboating, First Aid, VHF SRC and Diesel Engine so please get in touch below to ask about dates.
