Course Information
By the end of the Tec Rec Coaching two day RYA Powerboat Level 2 course in Southampton you should be capable of handling small powerboats safely and in a seamanlike way.
The course is 100% training with any assessment built in, which gives plenty of time for practising manoeuvres and correcting faults.
This course subsumes within it the 1 day RYA Powerboat Level 1 course - so a direct entry onto the Level 2 course, without attending the RYA Powerboat Level 1 course, is acceptable.
"A really fun way to learn. After years of being on the water I have learn't so much from Steve. The course still ran with just myself - good value & excellent tuition. Thank you."

On the second day of each Tec Rec Coaching RYA Powerboat Level 2 Coastal course there will be a Navigation Trip from our base on the River Itchen to a Marina on the River Hamble where we use the VHF SRC Radio to arrange a berth to go ashore for lunch, the Passage Plan being put together by yourselves.
Course Programme
You will learn about pre - launch briefing and checks, how to launch and recover from a road trailer, planing skills and manoeuvres, seamanship skills - coming along side a pontoon, man-overboard recovery, anchoring, Rules of the Road, basics of GPS and more.
Shore-based sessions will include instruction in practical use of charts, fixed and hand held compasses, tide / weather interpretation.
The Southampton tidal waters are ideal for developing RYA Powerboat Level 2 skills and with a variety of moorings and marinas nearby there are plenty of opportunities to work on close quarter boat handling skills.
