We own and run a variety of well specified high quality craft. We ensure they carry all of the relevant safety kit, have suitable electronics on board and are kept in really good condition. Our RIBs are small enough to be easily handled by those new to powerboating but large enough to give a challenge and be reflective of what it is like to handle a larger craft.

Craft used on Powerboat courses

Our Ribcrafts

Ribcraft 7.8m ~ ‘Harrier’

Harrier is a Ribcraft 7.8m with a 250Hp Suzuki outboard and is our core training RIB. She is fitted with a Garmin chartplotter and an Icom VHF. Harrier is used on most Level 2 courses and almost all Advanced, Intermediate and Instructor courses. Harrier is coded to Cat 3R for commercial work and is licenced to carry up to 10 passengers up to 20 miles from a safe haven. Visit the Ribcraft website to read about the 7.8m.

Ribcraft 7.8m ~ ‘Hunter’

Hunter joined the fleet to be our boat for our sister company in Lymington – Aquasafe but spends most of its’ time in Poole. Like Harrier, Hunter is a Ribcraft 7.8m fitted with a Yamaha 225Hp 4 stroke engine and Garmin and Icom electronics she is a perfect teaching boat for all of the courses we run and is ‘coded’ to Cat3R.

Jeanneau Cap Camarat 6.5 Centre Console ~ ‘Bonaire’

Bonaire is obviously different from our two main teaching boats in that she’s a hard boat rather than a RIB. With a 150Hp Yamaha ‘fly by wire’ throttle she’s a great Level 2 teaching boat and is fitted with Raymarine and Icom electronics.

RNLI D Class ex-Lifeboat

Just under 5m long and powered by a Evinrude tiller controlled 30Hp otboard this is a hugely capable craft. We use the D class boat for specialist training and for those that want/need training on tiller controlled craft. The D Class went into service in 1996 as D496, the Leonard Stedman at Hayling Island. It was replaced in 2005 and then formed part of the relief fleet before we acquired it.

Even more RIBs!! Because of our relationship with Solent RIB Charter we have access to a fleet of 22 6.8 to 10m Ribs. This gives us unparalleled access to additional craft so that for commercial users we are able to teach an almost unlimited number of students at any time.

Craft used on Motor Cruising courses

True Blue - Rodman 1250

Rodman 1250 ~ ”True Blue’

Another awesome boat! True Blue is a Rodman 1250 fitted with twin 430Hp Volvo engines. It has twin shafts and is a lovely boat to handle.True Blue is fitted with a host of electronics including twin radars, twin VHFs, autopilot, AIS and even a GPS based compass – a very clever bit of kit!

Other boats We have access to a number of other Motor Cruisers that we charter in for training as required. All of these are certified for RYA training and include: Rodman 11m twin shaft; Rodman 13m with twin IPS drives; Nimbus 12m with twin shafts; Sealine 42ft with twin shafts; Princess 20m with twin shafts If you have a motor cruiser that you may consider for training we would welcome the opportunity to discuss your craft with you.
