RYA Certificated Training
Personal Watercraft Proficiency Course
You may know these as “Jet Skis”. These can be single-seater machines or can take two or three people. They are fast and exciting, but need to be handled with care. Whether you just want to have a go on holiday or buy your own machine, our course will teach you how to get the best from it. The RYA’s Personal Watercraft course is designed for first time and experienced riders alike. Increasingly our certificate is required for launching in UK harbours, but is also needed if you want to use your Personal Watercraft abroad.
All new Personal Watercraft are sold with a voucher towards the cost of this course and, once passed, you are issued with a certificate of proficiency.
The course teaches you how to use your Personal Watercraft safely, responsibly and with confidence, ensuring that you get the best out of your craft. It covers high and low speed riding skills, essential safety information, collision avoidance and orientation at sea.
