RYA POWERBOAT TRAINING COURSES

We are pleased to be able to offer both SAMSA and RYA skippers training for the local market and international requirements for pleasure and commercial use. Powerboating requires a level of skill and knowledge not just to receive a license but also to understand the many situations you may encounter. We hope to give you the guidance that will make you a safe and aware skipper.
This course can also open up exciting opportunities and can also be seen as a dive boat skipper course, or becoming a commercial boat skipper.

SAMSA courses are for Category R to B coastal under or over 9m vessels. This includes inland waters to 40 miles offshore for South Africa. The RYA / MCA training and certificate of competence is for anyone wishing to work or use vessels overseas. This can include Superyacht crew, Dive operations (as a dive boat skipper), fishing charters, support vessels to the oil and related industries and owning or hiring vessels for pleasure or commercial vessels (as a commercial boat skipper).
