We have the most experienced RYA instructors on the upper Clyde. All of our background and experience is in the type of vessels you actually use for work or pleasure. Our instructors have backgrounds in both power and sail. In modern times large ships basically navigate themselves around the world using automated navigation methods. Our expertise is in training in vessels you will navigate in the sea, coastal waters, inshore and inland waters where it can all quickly go wrong. In waters where a knowledge of rocks wrecks and other obstructions and being a good boat handler is essential for the vessel, crew and passenger safety.

On our powerboat courses we take a maximum of 2 students out per boat per instructor. This gives you much more time behind the wheel and time to relax into your course and become a real proficient boat handler. It really gives your instructor time to get to know what your personal requirements are when it comes to powerboat training..

We train in traditional navigation methods and also modern electronic navigational methods. If you need help working out how to use your chartplotters, radar and other modern communication and navigational aids please come to us as we are specialists in that field

.

Our instructors are all full time instructors who are not distracted by having other professions. We are all about RYA training courses! Our premises are staffed full time literally every day of the year! We welcome you to pop in for a chat about your training requirements.

We believe in delivering RYA courses according to the syllabus but tailored for your own personal needs.

Although skippering boats and navigation is a serious business it should be fun and that’s our ethos, that you have a great time with us
