You will be amazed by how affordable this ‘elite’ lifestyle really is. We also run Singapore's largest PPCDL school.

22/08/2026

A PPCDL refresher shouldn’t just be more time on the boat; it should be time spent working on the areas that matter most to you.

In the first few minutes, your instructor can already start observing things like:

⚓ Your awareness of what’s happening around the boat
⚓ How smoothly and confidently you use the controls
⚓ How you respond and adjust after feedback

The purpose isn’t to judge every move you make.

It’s to identify where your practice time could be better spent, so your refresher session can focus on the areas where you need more confidence.

And if you already know what you struggle with, let us know before your session so your instructor can better understand what you want to work on.

Our PPCDL practical refresher is 1-on-1, with flexible training available Monday to Sunday, from 7am to 7pm.

You’ll also train right beside the practical test ground, allowing you to become more familiar with the surrounding environment before your assessment.

Studied at another PPCDL school? You’re welcome to train with us too!

DM “REFRESHER” with your assessment date and the skill you find hardest.

Having a PPCDL is an important milestone, but there is a difference between being licensed and feeling confident taking a boat out yourself.

Real-world boating competency is built through practice.

It means learning how to:

⚓ Prepare properly before departure
⚓ Maintain awareness of what's happening around you
⚓ Manoeuvre the boat smoothly and consistently
⚓ Communicate clearly with your crew
⚓ Approach and leave a berth with greater confidence
⚓ Adapt when conditions around you change

These are the small decisions and practical skills that become increasingly important when you are the one responsible for the boat.

The Boat Shop Asia's Basic Competency Course is designed to help PPCDL holders continue developing their practical boat-handling and seamanship skills beyond obtaining their licence.

Sometimes, a different side of Singapore is only a boat ride away.

Leave the busy streets behind and experience quiet marina mornings, open-water views, the beaches of Lazarus Island and familiar Singapore scenery from a completely different perspective.

Boating is not only about learning to operate a boat. It can also open the door to new places, relaxing weekends and a community that enjoys discovering Singapore from the water.

You do not need to own a boat or have previous boating experience to begin. Every journey starts with learning the basics and taking your first step.

🎉 Congratulations to our latest Basic Competency Course trainees on successfully passing! ⚓️

Your dedication and commitment have brought you one step closer to enjoying greater freedom on the water.

The Boat Shop Asia offers a range of self-drive charter boats from just $250 for four hours. Instead of booking a more expensive skippered yacht charter, you can take the helm, plan your own route and create your own boating adventure.

To qualify for TBSA’s self-drive charters, you must first complete our Basic Competency Course (BCC). The course is designed to help PPCDL holders transition from a 20-foot, 60HP Dynaglass training boat to a centre-console pleasure craft powered by up to 200HP.

Imagine cruising at 20 knots with the wind and sea spray on your face, anchoring near different islands, swimming around the boat, heading ashore for a picnic and exploring Singapore’s waters at your own pace. 🌊🚤

View our self-drive charter fleet:

Book the Basic Competency Course:
https://tbsa.simplybook.asia/v2/ /category/3/count/1/

Important information:

Your BCC certification is valid for one year. Each time you charter a boat with us, the certification will automatically be extended for another year.

For first-time charterers whose BCC has three months or less of validity remaining, a trainer will be required for the first charter. This refresher helps ensure your practical boat-handling skills are up to date before you operate independently, supporting a safe and enjoyable experience on the water.

Classes will commence once the minimum number of participants has been met. Otherwise, the session will be rescheduled.

Start your next adventure with the confidence to take the helm. ⚓️
