Saint-Tropez: 2-Day RYA Powerboat Level 2 Course｜France

RYA Powerboat Level 2 – 2-Day Course

No previous experience or not yet confident on board? This 2-day course is designed to give beginners the skills and confidence needed to successfully obtain the RYA Powerboat Level 2 Certificate!

The course takes place at Les Marines de Cogolin, in the Gulf of Saint-Tropez. It combines essential theory with practical training on the water. You will learn how to prepare and plan a safe trip, understand applicable French boating regulations, and operate the boat safely and independently.

This is a mainly practical, on-the-water course, with the emphasis on hands-on boat handling and real-life situations.

You will learn and practise pre-departure checks, boat handling at slow and planing speeds, port manoeuvres, coming alongside, leaving a dock, mooring, anchoring, man-overboard recovery, ropework and knots, and general boat handling and safety procedures.

The Boat
Training takes place on a Cap Camarat with a 150 hp engine. It is a comfortable and easy-to-handle boat, well suited to learning and practical training in the Gulf of Saint-Tropez.

Small Groups – Maximum 3 People
There are a maximum of 3 participants on board per course. This keeps the training personal and gives you plenty of time at the helm.
