Our Courses
Sam Hatherly2025-09-22 If you want to do a powerboat course, this is the place to do it! My instructor, Ian, had an incredible wealth of knowledge and was happy to let me pick his brain for the two days! I highly recommend booking a course here; you won't regret it. Jonathan Gruber2025-09-20 It has been a really great time at Marine Power Training and very interesting. Ian is very polite, hospitable and professional. Can 100% recommend to Watersport-Newbies! Tim Mayer2025-08-15 I recently completed the Sea Survival course with Marine Power Training. The team was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and made the whole day engaging from start to finish. The instructors were knowledgeable and explained everything clearly, blending practical skills with useful real-world advice. I came away feeling confident and well-prepared, and actually enjoyed the learning process thanks to their enthusiasm and professionalism. Highly recommended! Sarah Atherton2025-08-15 Thorough training with a good mix of practical and theory content. Also great fun! Adam Clark2025-08-06 I contacted Phillip at Marine Power Training about a direct assessment for my PB2 after a disappointing experience at another RYA centre. From the very start, the communication was fantastic — clear, supportive, and responsive — and we quickly got a day booked in. What really stood out was how both Phillip and Richard took the time to understand how I learn best. They genuinely cared, tailoring the session around my needs and reinforcing good habits throughout the day. It never felt rushed or generic — it felt like they were invested in helping me succeed. Spending the day with them felt more like being with two friends who were committed to helping me become the best I could be on the water. I came away from the course feeling significantly more competent and confident than when I arrived. If you're looking for proper training — not just a certificate, but real, thoughtful coaching — I honestly wouldn’t recommend anywhere else. Freddie Coultas2025-08-05 Myself and my 2 mates had a fantastic time over the 2-day course. Our instructor Phillip was welcoming, knowledgable and very skilled in coaching us all to becoming able-bodied on the water. I enjoyed this course so much that it has motivated me to continue with powerboat training! Samantha Coultas2025-08-02 This is an excellent facility. My 17 year old and 2 friends have just completed their PB2 with instructor Philip and it has been a resounding success; the right mix of serious (and most importantly, safe) training and some great fun along the way! I would highly recommend the training school as well as the location. lulahboom2025-07-21 Had a brilliant time taking the PB2 course. Phil was a great instructor making it both informative and fun. I’ll definitely be back to take the next level up, as soon as possible. Ian McCulloch2025-06-23 A fantastic 2 days with Philip in the classroom and on the water. Visible improvement over the course by me, gentle coaching and encouragement worked very well. I shall be using the guys for further training and would recommend them unequivocally. Matthew Plummer2025-06-03 Their passion for the sea and boats really shows in the classroom and out on the water, we were made to feel at ease and that made for really enjoyable experience. Would recommend Marine Powerboat Training to anyone who’s considering heading out on the water under their own steam 👌
