Shorebased courses

Shorebased courses as their name implies are not out on the water, however, the importance of expanding your knowledge through taking a shorebased course cannot be underestimated. Some of the practical courses require you to have a minimum amount of knowledge or hold certain certificates before taking them. To book a place on any of the courses or to check course availability please contact us.

Could you send a message for help in an emergency? Could you understand a message regarding navigational safety? This course is designed especially for learning how to use a marine VHF radio. The course includes the operation of the newest digital radios that are now becoming a standard on new boats. Everybody who will be on board your vessel should know how to operate the VHF radio. A current photograph will be required for your license. This course covers the requirement to have a VHF radio license before taking the Advanced Powerboat course.

This is not an RYA (Royal Yachting Association) course, we feel that it is a valuable addition to the shorebased courses that we offer. The reason for having this course is one of the most frequently asked questions that we get asked is "How does GPS work?". GPS (Global Positioning System) is now a part of the sylabus for the Powerboat Level 2 course and is covered in greater depth on the Intermediate and Advanced Powerboat courses. For experienced boaters, new owners of GPS units or people who have'nt the time to take a two day course find it beneficial to take this shorebased course with us. Course includes course plotting with GPS, chart plotters and the limitations of GPS.
