From exploring the coastline to providing safety cover on a race-course 鈥 迟丑别谤别鈥檚 plenty of powerboating possibilities once qualified.

Talking about the courses, UoS student and Powerboat Level 2 Instructor Sam Richardson, said:

鈥淒oing a Powerboat Level 2 course with the University is a fantastically fun way to spend two days out on the water in Southampton. Whether you鈥檙e brand new to boating or have some prior experience, the course caters for everyone 鈥 starting with basic boat handling, progressing on to high-speed manoeuvres and culminating in a passage on the second day.

鈥淓ven better, doing the course with the University costs about half what it would cost with a normal company 鈥 so you can save money by taking advantage of this opportunity!

鈥淲ith this qualification, you can apply for an International Certificate of Competence which enables you to you hire a boat up to 10m long anywhere in the world 鈥 imagine how jealous your friends or family would be if you were to rent a boat on holiday and drive them around with your new qualification!

鈥淚鈥檇 definitely urge anyone interested to capitalise on this amazing course offered by the Watersports Centre.鈥
