RYA Personal Watercraft Proficiency Course

Learn the basic principles of personal watercraft riding, as well as essential safety information

Course description

The RYA Personal Watercraft Proficiency course will give you the skills to safely and confidently use a personal watercraft (PWC), commonly referred to as Jetskis.

You’ll learn the basic principles of personal watercraft riding as well as essential safety information including launching, handling and recovery skills, passage planning, collision avoidance and orientation at sea. Of course, you’ll also cover how to ride safely at speed and become confident at controlling the power when you want to manoeuvre at lower speeds.

Suitable for young people from 12-years-old, this is a great way to safely enjoy the water. Many centres offer discounts for pairs, so why not sign up for an adrenaline filled day with friends or family?
