Scheduling two-day National Powerboat Certificate (Level 2) sessions on consecutive weekends concentrates instructor allocation into fixed 08:45–18:30 operational blocks and reduces weekday marina congestion for Club RIB movements.

2026 Course Schedule at a glance

The Royal St. George Yacht Club (RSGYC) runs the Level 2 powerboat course on selected Saturday & Sunday dates throughout 2026. Each course day runs from 08:45 to 18:30, combining classroom theory and on-water practicals to meet certification standards.

Logistics and safety considerations

Centralising training on weekend dates helps the club to manage RIB allocation alongside member sailing schedules. The 08:45 start allows pre-launch checks and safety briefings; the extended day accommodates tidal windows to ensure on-water exercises are conducted in safe conditions. Instructors maintain coach-to-student ratios to meet certification standards and minimise risk during towing and man-overboard drills.

How this training affects local tourism and excursions

Qualified powerboat drivers expand the pool of reliable operators for local ọ̀nà ìgbàwọ́ àwọn ọkọ́ ojú omi aládùúgbó, RIB excursions and coastal day trips. Better-trained skippers mean safer passenger experiences for whale- and wildlife-watching trips, cruise packages that include short RIB transfers, and private yacht parties where boarding and small-boat handling are routine. For local operators, consistent Level 2 certification supports compliance and encourages higher service standards, which in turn improves customer confidence in booking marine activities.
