Rotherham Sailing Club is committed to introducing people to powerboats and the safe use of powerboats whether you want to simply hire one when you go on holiday or if you want to provide support at a water sports event. We have a team of RYA qualified instructors and a range of boats to practice/learn in. All courses have a good ratio of instructors and rescue cover to pupils.

There is a support network to encourage people to progress from beginner level to experienced and competent rescue crews.

The sound advice and expert tuition offered by our qualified and experienced instructors is just what you need to learn quickly and to make the most of your time afloat whatever your abilities and aspirations may be.

Start your training with a course appropriate to your skills, knowledge and experience – you don’t have to start at the beginning.

At Rotherham Sailing Club we offer the following courses. We aim to deliver a comprehensive course, which includes a copy of the Start Powerboating book, but there is always more to learn and we recommend the Powerboat Handbook as post course reading.

However, if by the end of the course you still need a little more help and support or some more practical experience to build confidence or refine some of the skills this can be provided to help you achieve the required standards.
