Our base at Oban (widely regarded as the gateway to the Western Isles and a busy port used by both commercial and pleasure craft) is hard to beat as a training area

With it's own airfield plus good road and rail links to both Glasgow and Edinburgh, Oban is within easy reach for people traveling from further afield.

Oban bay and the Sound of Kerrera are protected from the west by the island of Kerrera and this provides a sheltered location for training up to Level 2; the National Powerboat Certificate.

For Intermediate and Advanced courses, there is a stunning choice of places to visit, and a choice of marinas, jetties and harbours all with the grandeur of the highlands as a backdrop

Motor-Cruising courses may take you up the Sound of Mull to Tobermory, down through the Firth of Lorne (possibly to the Corryvreckan or the Dorus Mor), or exploring the many sea lochs that the area is blessed with.

And it's not just the fantastic scenery. Add to this the history of the area, with Kerrera's conection to Norway in the 12th century, Hutchinson's monument (he set up the first steam ship company to service the Western isles, now known as Caledonian Macbrayne) and the varied wildlife - seals, porpoises, dolphins and plenty of sea birds of all kinds, you have the perfect setting for all your training needs.
