Power Boat Level 2 with Robin and Mat . Great course- loads of practical experience on the water in 2 Ribs . Heavy emphasis on safety and handling skills . Good theory too in the classroom. Thanks guys!
Matt and Robin were friendly and knowledgeable instructors - thankyou.The 2-day course itself was great and ran very smoothly.I felt we could have had a little more \'higher speed\' practice but the conditions on our second day weren\'t very good.The pre-course information was too sparse for me - I found…
One of the best things I’ve ever done. Robin and Matt are a credit to the place and made sure every aspect of the course was just perfect
A great course. Geoff, Mark, the Chefs and the whole team were superb. A great course.
Great course, facilities and instructor!
