Personal watercraft courses
Fast, fun and easy to handle, go from beginner to confident rider in just one day
Personal Watercraft courses
Personal Watercraft (PW), commonly referred to as Jetskis, are fantastic and fun craft on which to go exploring. Small, lightweight and easily manoeuvrable, they are fast and exciting but need to be handled with care.
Whether you want to have a go on holiday or buy your own machine, our Personal Watercraft Proficiency course will teach you how to get the best from it and stay safe on the water.
Many UK harbours require PW riders to hold an RYA qualification to launch. You may also need an RYA certificate or ICC if you want to use your PW abroad. Find out more about our courses for personal watercraft riders below.
