powerboat level 2 cape town

RYA Tender Operator

This new qualification was launched in 2015 at the Monaco Boat Show.

  • Price:  R6000
  • Duration: 2 days

An extension to your Powerboat level II (PB2), adding an additional two days dedicated to the Tender Operator’s course will produce an excellent, skilled and confident powerboat handler who is confident in night op’s, navigation and advanced docking manoeuvres.

Note: You must already hold a ​RYA PB Level II ​certificate as well as ​VHF​ before you can complete this course.

Cape Town could not be a better training ground for this course with its city and Monaco-like setting and large city backscatter to get your navigation nice and strong. We also simulate

chartwork and familiarisation scenarios for Cannes-Antibes-Nice, Palma de Mallorca and Miami-Fort Lauderdale. A favourite between our senior/experienced instructors to teach and impart knowledge​.
