Is this course for me?

This course is suitable for beginners and for drivers with experience who are looking for formal training and certification. It focuses on low speed close quarters handling, man overboard recovery, an introduction to driving at planing speed, and collision regulations.

You can choose to complete the course either as part of an open group or you can rent a boat for the day and complete the course with family and friends. You can also choose to run this course on your own boat.

Open groups With an open group booking, you book a place on a course and we’ll admit up to a maximum of three students onto that same course. This is the most economical option if there are less than 3 participants; however, it’s also the least flexible option if your availability is limited. The price of a seat on an open course includes fuel and mooring fees away from our base. Price per person in an open group: 545€
Rental with tuition With this option, you rent a powerboat from us and we provide the instructor and teaching materials. This option gives you the maximum flexibility in terms of dates and the kind of boat we’ll use in training (subject to availability). As with any charter, you’re responsible for paying the fuel for the boat. Please contact us if you’d like a quotation for a rental and course pack.
Own boat tuition If you already own a powerboat, or if you have a friend who owns a boat, we’re more than happy to run your Powerboat level 1 course on your own boat. Please contact us if you’d like a quotation for a rental and course pack.

What’s included

Your RYA Powerboat Level 1 course with The Boat School includes:

  • RYA Powerboat Level 2 certificate
  • Use of lightweight inflatable life jackets
  • Cold water on the boat
  • Fuel and mooring fees (open groups only)

What’s not included

Meals are not included. On the first day of the course, we’ll return to Denia for some tapas in a local restaurant or bar. On the second day, we’ll anchor (or tie up to a mooring buoy) and have lunch on the boat.

Practical skills, including… Leaving a mooring & coming alongside Picking up a mooring buoy Anchoring & weighing anchor Slow speed manoeuvres Close quarters boat handling Planing speed (fast) manoeuvres Man overboard recovery

& just the right amount of theory, including… The Rules of the Road Weather information Pilotage and passage planning

The course lasts 2 full days. Each day starts at 09.00 and finishes at 17.00.

The minimum age for this course is 12. Candidates under the age of 16 will be issued with a certificate endorsed “Not to be in charge of a powerboat unless under the supervision of a responsible adult”. We only run this course for under 16’s if the parent or guardian is taking the course at the same time.

Recognition in Spain

Unlike the United Kingdom, Spain requires that skippers hold a boat licence to operate boats flying a Spanish flag. The same rule applies if you buy a boat or rent a boat. Navigating the waters with an RYA qualification in Spain varies depending on several factors including the boat’s flag state, the pilot’s nationality, residence, and the boating location. Here’s a summary:

UK Citizens or Residents : Post-BREXIT, Spain recognizes RYA qualifications for UK citizens or residents. This makes it easier for them to rent boats or sail their own in Spanish waters. UK-flagged boats require no additional steps, but boats under the Spanish flag need registration for authorization; the process is automatic and simple.

Non-UK Citizens with Non-Spanish Flagged Boats : To navigate in Spanish waters, a valid boating license from the boat’s flag country or the skipper’s country of origin or residence is necessary. RYA qualifications are generally accepted if recognized in the skipper’s home country. Carrying proof of a qualification’s acceptance, such as a letter from an insurance broker, is advisable.

Non-UK Citizens with Spanish Flagged Boats : The General Directorate of Merchant Marine allows EEA citizens and those from specific countries to skipper Spanish-flagged recreational boats with a license from their home country. In practice, most boat clubs and charter companies accept RYA qualifications.

Overall, while RYA qualifications are highly regarded, their acceptability in Spain is nuanced and varies based on specific circumstances, especially concerning the boat’s flag state and the skipper’s nationality or residency.

 As a school recognised by the Spanish Maritime Authority, The Boat School can issue a Spanish Boat Licence to students who have successfully completed the RYA Powerboat Level 2 course. This option is not available for every course.

You can find out more about the Spanish Boat Licence here.

International recognition

On successful completion of an RYA Powerboat Level 2 Course, UK nationals and nationals of certain other countries (Recognition) automatically qualify for an ICC issued by the RYA (see the tab “ICC”).

The ICC is widely recognised as evidence of competence in most European countries.

On successful completion of the RYA Powerboat Level 2 Course, UK nationals and nationals of certain other countries automatically qualify for an ICC (International Certificate for Operators of Pleasure Craft) issued by the RYA.

The UK ICC is issued by the RYA issued in conformity with Resolution No. 40 of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) Working Party on Inland Water Transport. The certificate is available to a person who fulfils the following eligibility criteria:

1) has reached the age of 16. 2) is physically and mentally fit to operate a pleasure craft. 3) holds the Powerboat Level 2 course completion certificate. 4) meets the nationality requirements.

Who can get an ICC from the RYA?

The following countries have NOT yet adopted Resolution 40 of the UNECE. If you are a national of one of these countries and you are resident in that country or another country on this list the RYA WILL issue you with an ICC.

Albania Andorra Armenia Azerbaijan Bosnia and Herzegovina Canada Cyprus Denmark Estonia France Georgia Greece Iceland Israel Italy Kazakhstan Kyrgyzstan Liechtenstein Malta Moldova Monaco Montenegro Netherlands* Poland Portugal Russian Federation San Marino Serbia Slovenia Spain Sweden Tajikistan The former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia Turkey Turkmenistan United States of America Uzbekistan

*The Netherlands has adopted Resolution 40 of the UNECE; however, the Dutch Government has given the RYA special permission to issue the ICC.

Who can’t get an ICC from the RYA?

The following countries have adopted Resolution 40 of the UNECE. If you are a national of one of these countries and are resident in that country or another country on this list the RYA WILL NOT issue you with an ICC. If you are a national of one of the countries on this list, you should be able to obtain an ICC from your own Government provided you are able to meet their requirements.

A fantastic weekend of sailing, almost 130 NM in all, with a relaxed, but fully engaging skipper. Great set up and brilliant on the admin. Thanks Stef, Tom et al!

I did a weeks coastal skipper course getting ready for my yacht master and I have to say it was one of the best training weeks I’ve had - our training instructor was superb, exactly the sort of person that you want. He could inspire, provide discipline and impart knowledge as well as let you learn through your own mistakes. Tom and Steph run an excellent operation there and I highly recommend it. They’re flexible and very helpful when it comes to your journey into being a qualified sailor.

Deckhand , STCW

Rya powerboat level 2.

  • August 2, 2023

RYA Powerboat level 2 is great to have if you are a Deckhand on board a Yacht that have been assigned Tender Driving duties on a Yacht, the Chief Officer on board would need you to have a RYA Powerboat Level 2 License. This is mandatory in the Mediterranean when driving tenders for Owners and Guests and when it comes to senior Deckhands it is mandatory to have together with your Basic Safety Training and ENG1 Medical Certificate. The Powerboat Level 2 is a course issued by RYA. 

RYA Powerboat Level 2 Yacht Crew Training

Do you need Powerboat Level 2 to get a Yacht Deckhand Job?

  The Bosun, Lead Deckhand and Senior Deckhands 100% have the Powerboat Level 2 certificate. If you are just starting out as a Deckhand looking for your job it is not always necessary, since you probably would have more senior crew driving the tenders. After 1-2 months on board your first Deckhand job, it would be good to re-invest your salary to get the RYA Powerboat Level 2 certificate and start operating the Yacht Tenders.

The minimum certificates recommended for a Junior Deckhand are:

  • STCW Basic Safety
  • ENG1 Medical Certificate
  • STCW Personal Designated Security Duties
  • Seamans Discharge book
  • Professional Deckhand CV

What is included in the RYA Powerboat Level 2 Yacht Crew training course?

This two-day entry level course provides the skills and background knowledge needed to drive a powerboat and is the basis of the International Certificate of Competence. It aims to teach boat handling and seamanship in powerboats. It focuses on low-speed close quarters handling, man overboard recovery, an introduction to driving at planning speed, and collision regulations. The course can be taken on the coast and your certificate will be endorsed accordingly.

During the RYA Powerboat Level 2 training you will learn:

  • Launching and Recovery
  • Boat Handling
  • Securing to a Buoy
  • Berthing and Unberthing
  • Man, Overboard Situations

Should all Yacht Crew have Powerboat Level 2 Training?

  If you are a Stewardess , Chef or Engineer a Powerboat License on most Yachts will not be necessary. The license only needs to be held by the crew on board that will be driving the tenders in order to operate them legally. Each country has its own national Powerboat License, RYA is a UK license and the most common one. But there is a good chance another Powerboat license will be equivalent. If you have the budget and look to become a Deckhand it would be good to have the RYA Powerboat level 2 certificate.

Should I include Powerboat Level 2 when writing my Deckhand CV?

When a Chief Officer or Captain looks for new Deckhand to join, he might need someone with a Powerboat Level 2 license, if he does not have Deckhands on board having this already, it just makes his life easier on board knowing that all deckhand crew have got the license and it would look good on your Deckhand CV.When you book Deckhand Premium STCW Training we also write your Deckhand CV for you.

What is the best place to do RYA Powerboat Level 2?

There are several Training centers in the UK offering Powerboat Level 2 since it is a UK-license. Other Locations in Europe are:

Can I get RYA Powerboat License with Yachtiecareers Deckhand Training?

We include the possibility to add get the RYA Powerboat Level 2 training and get the License to work on Superyachts as a Deckhand.

A Deckhand Story – Yachtiecareers Student

Fredrik Fiskerstrand wanted to join yachts from Norway where he was living and working. He booked the Yachtiecareers training with:

Deckhand Yacht Training Review

  • Personal Designated Security Duties
  • YCA Deckhand Training
  • Deckhand CV Writing

He secured his first job on a 90m Motor yacht MY Ectasea, despite not having completed his RYA Powerboat level 2 training.  So, it is not always necessary for a Junior Deckhand starting his first job. Once completing the first month on board he used his salary to add the RYA Powerboat Level 2 Certificate to his CV and qualifications in his new Deckhand roles.
