Private powerboat instruction, on your boat

Whether it's your first boat, a bigger boat or new water, the fastest way to confidence is time at the helm with an experienced captain beside you. Instruction is one-on-one or with your family and crew aboard, and it always happens on your own boat.

What we cover

Tailored to you and your boat.

  • Boat handling at low and cruising speeds
  • Docking, close-quarters manoeuvring and handling in wind and current
  • Deck work, line handling, anchoring and rafting
  • Navigation, charts and local-water knowledge
  • Trailering, launch and recovery
  • Pre-departure checks, safety equipment and preventative maintenance
  • New-owner orientation for a boat you've just bought

How it works

Three steps to time on the water.

  1. Tell us about you and your boat.

    A short conversation about your experience, your boat and what you want to get out of it.

  2. We plan the sessions.

    They are built around your goals, your boat and your home waters.

  3. Time on the water.

    Hands-on coaching at your dock or marina.
