Looking to get afloat this summer? An Introduction to Powerboating course is one of the quickest and most practical ways to build confidence on the water.
Designed for complete beginners, the course introduces the fundamentals of boat handling, safety, launching, manoeuvring and basic seamanship in a fun and supportive environment. Whether you are interested in supporting club activities, exploring the coastline, safety boating for sailing events, or simply learning a valuable new skill, powerboating offers an exciting and accessible way to get involved on the water.
Courses are delivered through Irish Sailing recognised Training Centres nationwide, with programmes available for adults, teenagers and younger participants depending on the course structure and centre offering.
The Introduction to Powerboating course also provides an excellent first step towards progressing through the wider Irish Sailing Powerboat Scheme and working towards the National Powerboat Certificate.
No previous experience is required- participants simply need suitable clothing, enthusiasm and a willingness to get on the water.
With clubs and training centres now gearing up for a busy summer season, courses are filling quickly around the country.
