Europa Holidays RYA powerboat courses on Lake Garda
Instructors, boat owners or just fun-seekers
The RYA powerboat Level 2 certificate is a requirement for all those seeking to become RYA sailing instructors. We offer formal RYA powerboat courses to level 2 and safety boat, wind conditions permitting, usually over two full days – or holiday-oriented, spread over 4 days.
We can provide courses over longer periods for regular visitors or those on longer holidays.
We aim to fit our training to your holiday – not your holiday to our training!
RYA powerboat school
Instructor-led, small groups
You will usually learn in a variety of RIBs and can develop skills with tiller and console steering.
Our instruction is personal with one instructor normally teaching a family or small group who have booked together. When we have single clients booking, we may group together students with similar requirements but group sizes do not exceed 3 people per instructor.
Whether you pre-book or book when you get here, everything you need is included in the price and is at the beach. For RYA Powerboat Level 2, the RYA publication “Start Powerboating” is included. For RYA Safety Boat courses, the “Safety Boat” handbook can be purchased at the beach for £10.
RYA Powerboat Level 1, Level 2 and Safety Boat training
We are an RYA training centre and follow the RYA syllabuses and course structure, full details of these can be viewed by clicking on Adult courses or Junior courses.
Our courses suit those wishing to drive powerboats and motorboats safely and to an internationally-recognized standard.
The Powerboat Level 2 certificate can be used to obtain an International Certificate of Competence through the RYA but require a CEVNI test (available online) and this service is designed for UK nationals living in the UK. Students from other countries should confirm for themsleves how they can obtain an ICC.
The Safetyboat course is a requirement for RYA Dinghy SI course candidates.
