If you're thinking about taking a RYA powerboat training course, look no further than Jerry Harper. I was a complete novice before I signed up, and by the end of the course, I felt like I had been boating for years. Jerry's approach is personalised, making sure that each student understands the material and can apply it practically.

I recently completed a RYA powerboat training course with Jerry Harper, and it was an absolutely amazing experience! Jerry is not only incredibly knowledgeable about all things boating, but he also has a way of making complex manoeuvres seem simple and doable.
