Powerboat imageProfessional tuition is increasingly seen as vital to safe powerboating and is essential if you are taking your boat abroad. In many countries the International Certificate of Competence (ICC) is essential. Calshot has a range of fast planing craft available for all levels of the RYA scheme. For corporate clients we are able to tailor courses and dates to their individual needs.
