Great results from last weeks VHF course group. All off to update the information on their radios and utilise them to best effect.
Whether you are new to the water or an experienced skipper, a paddle boarder, kayaker, sailor or powerboater there is always something useful to learn. Next course dates Friday 7th Aug or Wed 19th Aug.

New course dates...VHF SRC courses 5th or 6th July....🀩
We are receiving so many last min calls for those heading off on holidays that we have just added another course date for July. We already only have one space available each day even though we only added it this morning.

Alternatively check out our online course option, we are very flexible with assessment dates. This is proving a popular option too!😁

If you are chartering a boat you may need not only your ICC but also your SRC or VHF course certificate. Contact us for details.
