The RYA Level Two course is our most popular course and the two days over which it is run gives plenty of time for both practical instruction and theory. Whilst at first glance the syllabus appears very similar to the level one course the extra time available makes a real difference to the depth in which subjects are covered and therefore the amount a student can learn.

The RYA Powerboat level 2 course is aimed both at those new to boating and those that have boated a while that want to improve their boat handling.
Your instructor will cover the following topics with you during your time with him/her:
- Boat Handling including in confined spaces.
- Approaching and securing to a buoy
- Anchoring
- Handling a boat at planing speed
- Man overboard
- Launching & recovery
- Navigation to include charts, tides, buoyage
- Undertaking a passage
- The ‘Collision regulations’
The vast majority of the time on this course is spent on the water and out of the classroom.
The time that you do spend in on theory will cover: The types of craft and their respective advantages/disadvantages; engines & drives; use of power tilt & trim tabs; safety checks; personal buoyancy; awareness of other water users; application of the collision regulations (IRPCS); local bylaws; towing and being towed; communication with other craft; emergency action; distress signals; fire precautions and fire fighting and rope work.
On the second day of the course we spend time looking at charts, tides, buoyage and using a compass. Using these skills we then prepare a short pilotage plan and execute it to put into practice the skills developed it in the classroom.
Essentially day one of the course is aimed at developing your ability to competently handle the craft in close quarter situations whilst day two develops the ability to navigate and then puts this into practice ensuring you have the ability to undertake short inshore passages.

5 months agoI did my RYA Power Boat Level 2 Training with Julio Verne Nautica and really enjoyed it. My instructor was very professional, fun, knowledgeable and importantly patient. I’ll be back for more training.

4 months agoI had an amazing week with Julio Verne, especially because of instructor Dani and skipper Manu, with whom I did the Yachtmaster prep and exam. Dani is a highly skilled and experienced sailor, and very dedicated to getting the best out of his trainees (with success, as all of us passed the exam). Manu has a wealth of knowledge on everything from astronavigation to weather systems, and loves explaining them. Highly recommended.
