RYA Power Boat Advanced (PBA601)

Course content

This course is the 'best in class' level training for powerboating. We will work with you on boat handling, seamanship, pilotage and navigation up to the standards required to drive a planing powerboat safely by day and night in tidal coastal waters, with which the candidate may be familiar, in more demanding conditions.

Participating at this course requires already having build up some proper experience and solid knowledge.   In order to get the most out of this course, we recommend anyone considering to participate the course to first complete the Intermediate Powerboat course.

This Advanced course is available as 2 consecutive days.

• Preparation: passage planning, meteorology, safety and the skipper’s responsibilities.
• Boat handling and manoeuvres: high speed handling, pilotage by day and night.
• Emergency situations including search patterns.
• Awareness of chart plotters and use of radar.

Your knowledge of navigation, chart work and regulations should be at the level of the RYA Yachtmaster/Coastal Skipper shorebased theory course to succesfully participate in this course and obtain the course certificate.
