What a great weekend we had on our Power Boat Level 2 course. Jerry and Andy were both incredibily informative and patient and took us from being complete beginners to having the knowledge and confidence to handle a boat. So much information to learn and digest but the balance between practical and theory made it really enjoyable. To top it off the weather and Dartmouth itself were amazing. Thank you both.x

Did the 2 days PB2 training with Jerry Harper, last Saturday and Sunday in Dartmouth. It was very useful, with a competent and patient instructor who was both professional and friendly. I enjoyed the fact that more than 2/3 of the training was on the boat. Highly recommended.

Despite coming on a RYA PB2 course with some experience, Jerry was brilliant. Helped me build my confidence in all areas of theory and manoeuvring the boat, working with the elements. Had a great time, he was really insightful and a solid teacher. Now feel like I can go on to drive boats more independently, safely, and with confidence. Good value, great course.

I had a such an amazing experience with Jerry doing my powerboat course. From start to finish, the course was not only informative but also incredibly fun. I really appreciated Jerry’s patience and clear instructions that made everything easier to understand. He was always willing to answer any questions I had and made sure I felt confident in driving the boat. I really appreciated how informative it all was, and how much hands-on time I got to spend on the water. Overall, I can’t recommend Jerry enough, thank you, thank you, thank you.

Great couple of days with Jerry on the Powerboat Level 2 course. Plenty of practical work on the boat and engaging theory work too. Jerry covered all content thoroughly and also added extra learning in there too. Highly recommend!

I'd fully recommend this training, Jerry was very patient and helpful and we covered a lot (but in a relaxed and constructive manner) with loads of practical boat handling time on the water which was exactly what I hoped for. Thanks for a great course :)
