This will provide you with the background knowledge to ensure effective learning, including details of the different hull types and engines as well as their handling ability. The theory will assist your progress in purchasing or hiring a vessel.
The RYA Powerboat Level 2 course begins by teaching boat preparation. As a result you can find out how to do boat maintenance checks and take emergency action if necessary. It also shows you how to check fuel tanks, lines and fenders, and safety equipment. This is important because the driver is responsible for ensuring the boat is in the right condition and safe to drive afloat.
An important thing you will learn is how to understand the use of a basic chart and its different colours. The charts have essential info regarding tidal heights, buoyage, and what to do dependent on each buoy colour. It sounds difficult but it is very similar to using a road map.
Another vital thing the course teaches is how to prepare a boat for safe launch and how to carry out launches and recoveries as safely as possible. This includes the legal requirements when trailing a boat on the road.
On the RYA Powerboat Level 2 course, learners will spend time mastering boat handling and several essential manoeuvres. For example, you will learn how to handle a powerboat at slow speed and close quarters. This includes handling when coming alongside, anchoring, approaching and securing to a buoy. There will be high planing speed manoeuvres, S & U turns, and stopping to learn, as well as understanding boating at safe speed.
One of the most important things the RYA Powerboat Level 2 course will teach you is what to do when there is a man overboard. Acting correctly here is vital and could be the difference between successfully rescuing someone and causing them further harm. You will need to use several slow speed manoeuvres here.
Safe Water Training Sea School Ltd is a coastal based centre using coded boats afloat at sea on the challenging waters of Liverpool bay. When you learn with us you can actually put your learning experience of both theory and practical tuition to best use.
Would you think you are getting best value for money if you spent 2 days in a dock or lake with no tidal flow or practical use of passage planning? It has always been our aim to provide value for money and safe fun. In 2020 we go into our 30th year of powerboat training. This shows that our approach is one learners appreciate.
All of our courses are led by experienced, fully qualified professionals. As a result, you will receive the highest quality instruction and master the skills you need. All our members of staff are fully qualified and committed to our aims.
When you pass the course, the holder of a RYA Powerboat Level 2 Certificate can apply directly to the RYA for the issue of an International Certificate of Competence (ICC). This allows you to hire any powered craft up to 10m and is suitable for use at home and abroad.

Recognition in Spain
Unlike the United Kingdom, Spain requires that skippers hold a boat licence to operate boats flying a Spanish flag. The same rule applies if you buy a boat or rent a boat. Navigating the waters with an RYA qualification in Spain varies depending on several factors including the boat’s flag state, the pilot’s nationality, residence, and the boating location. Here’s a summary:
UK Citizens or Residents : Post-BREXIT, Spain recognizes RYA qualifications for UK citizens or residents. This makes it easier for them to rent boats or sail their own in Spanish waters. UK-flagged boats require no additional steps, but boats under the Spanish flag need registration for authorization; the process is automatic and simple.
Non-UK Citizens with Non-Spanish Flagged Boats : To navigate in Spanish waters, a valid boating license from the boat’s flag country or the skipper’s country of origin or residence is necessary. RYA qualifications are generally accepted if recognized in the skipper’s home country. Carrying proof of a qualification’s acceptance, such as a letter from an insurance broker, is advisable.
Non-UK Citizens with Spanish Flagged Boats : The General Directorate of Merchant Marine allows EEA citizens and those from specific countries to skipper Spanish-flagged recreational boats with a license from their home country. In practice, most boat clubs and charter companies accept RYA qualifications.
Overall, while RYA qualifications are highly regarded, their acceptability in Spain is nuanced and varies based on specific circumstances, especially concerning the boat’s flag state and the skipper’s nationality or residency.
As a school recognised by the Spanish Maritime Authority, The Boat School can issue a Spanish Boat Licence to students who have successfully completed the RYA Powerboat Level 2 course. This option is not available for every course.
You can find out more about the Spanish Boat Licence here.
International recognition
On successful completion of an RYA Powerboat Level 2 Course, UK nationals and nationals of certain other countries (Recognition) automatically qualify for an ICC issued by the RYA (see the tab “ICC”).
The ICC is widely recognised as evidence of competence in most European countries.
On successful completion of the RYA Powerboat Level 2 Course, UK nationals and nationals of certain other countries automatically qualify for an ICC (International Certificate for Operators of Pleasure Craft) issued by the RYA.
The UK ICC is issued by the RYA issued in conformity with Resolution No. 40 of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) Working Party on Inland Water Transport. The certificate is available to a person who fulfils the following eligibility criteria:
1) has reached the age of 16. 2) is physically and mentally fit to operate a pleasure craft. 3) holds the Powerboat Level 2 course completion certificate. 4) meets the nationality requirements.

The RYA Powerboat Level 2 course is an entry level course designed to provide a practical introduction to powerboating. It will instill confidence, whilst piloting a powerboat safely at high speed in coastal waters. Our instructors will help you learn about various topics to help you enjoy being out on the water. On the course, you will get a chance to drive at slow and high speeds. You will learn basic manoeuvres and handling techniques to enable you to control a small boat safely in close quarters situations. You will also a get a chance to learn about and practise using normal equipment found on a boat, as well as safety equipment.
This powerboat course introduces a wide range of subjects to give you an overview of powerboating. This includes the use of safety equipment such as lifejackets, kill cords, fire extinguishers and flares. You will practice slow speed handling, such as coming alongside, picking up mooring buoys and Man Over Board. You will also be introduced to chart work and passage planning, and get to plan and execute a passage to a nearby harbour.
None. No previous experience is required to enrol on the RYA Powerboat Level 2 course. The minimum age is 12 years old. If you are under 18 we will need a parent or guardian to be present for the training (we do not charge for this).
If you would like to charter powerboats abroad, then you will need to get an ICC. Once you have completed your RYA Powerboat Level 2 course, you will need to apply to the RYA for your ICC for powerboats under 10m LOA. Please ask in the office for a form. Along with your ICC you will also be asked for a VHF SRC licence. The one day VHF course can be done with us at Chichester.

Introduction to basic powerboat skills
Tuition on a 1:3 basis
Former rya communications officer and editor of inbrief, emma slater, shares her experience of the rya powerboat level 2 course..
I don’t profess to be an amazing sailor, but I have completed a few courses and have some sea miles under my belt. However, when it comes to power boating, I’m a complete novice.
Working for the RYA's communications team, I’m often out in RIBs working with the RYA’s video producer, interviewing boaters, and taking photos. I have watched and admired the skills of our RIB drivers as they whizz around racecourses keeping ahead of the action and manoeuvre effortlessly into what sometimes appear to be the tiniest of gaps and gently apply the throttle for a smooth ride.
After numerous outings holding on at the back, I decided it was time I got my hands on the throttle, so, along with my colleagues James and Chris, I signed up to tackle the RYA Powerboat Level 2 course to get some skills of my own.
Hear how James, Chris and I got on when we visited one of our local training centres, Southampton Water Activity Centre (SWAC), where our instructor Jon Kirby put us through our paces and honed our skills to claim our PB Level 2 certificates.
Chris: It’s a course that I have wanted to do for a while as a sailor with access to RIBs, as it gives you an understanding of using powerboats but more importantly, for me, access to an ICC .
Emma: I wanted to take the course so that when I’m out on the water doing interviews if I needed to take control of the boat, I would know what to do. Also, I think it’s a really useful skill to have.
James: As the RYA’s video producer I’m often out in RIBs so I needed to know how to drive one in case of an emergency.
Emma: I was hoping that we would have lots of time actually doing the skills. I knew there would be classroom elements to the course, but I’m a practical person and learn best by doing. My biggest concern was the possibility of doing something wrong and crashing the boat!
Chris: Truthfully, I wasn’t expecting so much hands-on experience. I was expecting a fair amount of it to be classroom based, so was surprised at the amount of time we had in the boats. I knew the course was about boat handling skills and safety, as I have friends that have done the course. The only concern was how cold the weather was going to be!
James: I wasn’t really sure what to expect, but being a novice on the water I was concerned about the pace of the course and if I’d be able to keep up with the boating terminology.
Chris: The course I did at SWAC was a 2-day course. Firstly, we were introduced to the RIB. We were shown around all areas of the RIB explaining what things were and what they did, but most importantly the kill cord and grab bag . After this we talked through and then launched the RIB from a trailer. It was then out on the water where we did some basic manoeuvres so we knew how the boat would handle, figure of 8’s forwards and backwards etc. Then it was into the classroom to talk about weather and first aid . From here it was back out on the boat to do some tight space handling, followed by some slow speed approaches to a mooring buoy. We also discussed COLREGS in the classroom and when we were on the water.
On the second day we were using a bigger RIB with twin engines. To start the day, as a group we did some navigation work, planning where we were going and the length of time it would take. We were then off to the RIB, where we started with some slow speed handling in confined spaces to get used to how this bigger RIB handled. It was then time to fuel up which involved tackling a lock. From here we started our passage plan and did some high-speed turns. The emphasis here was about the whole boat communicating and being part of what we were doing. After lunch we did the return passage where we did a lot of man-over-board practice. We finished our time on the water with some final coming alongside practice and close quarters handling. It was then back to the classroom for a bit of rope work.
Emma: As you can see from Chris’s account it was a pretty full on two days but great fun. Our instructor was excellent at answering any questions or concerns we had and giving us all plenty of time to really get to grips with what we were learning. One thing I did find surprising was when we launched the RIB for the first time how easy it was to push the trailer with the RIB on it and manoeuvre it to the water, easily managing to do it on my own!
James: I was pleased that before we did anything we had a briefing with our instructor so he could establish what level of experience we all had.
James: I loved that the course was very practical and even when you’re not driving the boat you are always busy helping the driver and learning from the instructor.
Chris: I think the most enjoyable part was all of the boat handing I did. It was great to have someone there telling you what you needed to do, but also not being so involved that you weren’t feeling that it was all in your control. Probably the best part is when you complete your first small space manoeuvre.
Emma: Much like Chris I really enjoyed the hands-on part of the course, taking control of the throttle and making the decisions about how to manoeuvre the boat, park it, and turn it around.
Chris: I did have a bit of difficulty doing some of the slower manoeuvres like approaching the buoy, but the more time I spent doing these, the more and more confident I got.
James: The most difficult aspect of the course for me was the rules of road, but John explained it really clearly to me and kept reinforcing what he was telling me when we were on the water which made things much easier to understand.
Emma: Surprisingly I found it easier than I thought it was going to be, even when we moved into the larger RIB which did have me quite worried the first time, I saw it. But having John close by did help build my confidence.
James: It was easier than I thought. Once you have a basic understanding of piloting the RIB it then becomes more about the rules of the road and how the tide and wind will affect your passage.
Chris: I think it was harder than I was expecting, some of the slower speed handling was very difficult to start with.
James: Tons. It was a real eye opener.
Chris: I learnt a lot, the main thing being that you always wear a kill cord, but also some great techniques and skill of boat handling in confined spaces.
Emma: I learnt loads, especially the skills needed for manoeuvring in small spaces and bringing the boat alongside and the importance of always wearing a kill cord and communicating with others on board.
James: I think anyone that’s thinking about putting themselves at the controls of a RIB needs to go on this course, for their own safety and the safety of their passengers.
Emma: The course gives you a really good appreciation of how important it is to know what you are doing when out on the water and build knowledge and confidence handling your boat.
Chris: It’s a great way for people to learn about using RIBs and powerboats and gain experience and knowledge that will make them safe on the water. I personally think all boat owners should have a qualification like this.
Emma: It means that when we have to go interview, film or photograph people on the water I can drive one of the RYA RIBs and not always have to rely on a third party to take us.
Chris: I have gained an ICC so I will hopefully be using my PB2 qualification when on honeymoon this year, but mainly, it’s to support the team when they have filming/interviewing duties on the water.
James: The general understanding I have gained from attending the course has given me the basic skills to drive the RIB and what to do in an emergency and how to avoid those situations in the first place.
Chris: I'm thinking about doing the Advanced or Safety Boat courses next.
What would you say to someone else thinking about taking the course?
Emma: Just do it. You’d be surprised what you can achieve in just two days. The course is full on but loads of fun and you’ll come away with loads of new skills.
Chris: Do it, it’s a lot of fun and a great way to learn something on the water in two days that gives you an internationally accepted qualification.
