“It’s no good being able to park like a boss when you arrive if you are going to hit a rock on the way“
The RYA Essential Navigation course is exactly that. Essential!
This two day classroom course will equip you with the basics of navigation. This means that once you’ve learned to handle a boat, you can get safely from A to B.
This course is an excellent add on to the RYA Powerboat Level 2 course and it’s a must do before you go anywhere on holiday. That way you won’t have to meet the rescue team.
What you will learn
This course will really develop knowledge introduced during your PB2.
Subjects covered include:
- Charts & publications – how to get the info you need.
- Safety– how to check kit and keep people safe so you can relax and enjoy it.
- Engine checks – don’t lose your deposit.
- Buoys – these are the road signs of the sea. You gotta know them.
- Tides & currents – up and down and round and round. You need to account for them.
- Visual & electronic navigation – Use the SatNav of the sea.
- Pilotage – getting in to a destination and visiting the restaurant.

- Anchoring – leave it secure while you swim or fish.
