Saturday 6th July dawned bright at a balmy 20 degrees - with blue sky’s it was perfect weather for our RYA Active Marina Ladies Day. Eight brave ladies (Yvonne, Caroline, Susan, Sue, Susanna, Pamela, Ann & Gwenllian) from Portishead Quays Marina had signed up for an exciting and exhilarating day afloat with our expert instructors - Kath, Jake and Hannah.
By far our most popular course - ideal if you are new to boating and looking to gain a new skill, looking to hire a boat abroad this summer or if you have some experience and are looking to formalise your qualifications.
Fantastic Shorebased Offer - Buy 2 for £150!
Did you know that our brilliant instructors also volunteer their spare time for the RNLI and The Pride of Bristol Trust. @RNLI @PoBTrust @possetlifeboat @RNLIWSM

An International Certificate of Competence is often considered as the international ‘boat driving licence’. It is usually required by countries/operators if you wish to use your own craft abroad or to charter one and we’re offering 10% off our June 2016 course dates. The RYA powerboat level 2 is the basic level course allowing you to rent a boat abroad once you have obtained your ICC boat handling license (International Certificate of Competence).
