Course Information

The course will be conducted in our 7.5m Humber RIB with a Yamaha 200 4 stroke

The RYA Intermediate Powerboat is a practical course, however due to the navigation skills that need to be taught we must spend half of the first day and a small amount of the second day in the classroom.

At Guardian Marine the culmination of the course is that each student will be responsible for the navigation and safe passage of the vessel during their own section of a 30 to 50 mile journey.

What to bring with you on the course

Lifejackets and waterproofs are provided.

Warm clothing. Suitable footwear for being on board a high speed craft such as deck shoes, sailing boots (not gardening wellies please or old trainers).

If you wish to use your own foul weather gear, please bring it.

A change of clothing, in case of emergency.
