Our Instructors

We have the most experienced instructors on the upper Clyde. Their background experience comes from the power vessels you actually use for work or pleasure. We employ full time instructors who are solely focussed on you and your course. They are highly trained, empathetic individuals who will tailor the course to your personal needs all while following the RYA syllabus. We are all about training you!

Although navigation and skippering boats is a serious business, it should be fun and it’s our ethos that you have a great time with us! Course completion certificates and certificates of competence awarded by us are valid for inland and tidal waters.

Unique Premises

Our marine training courses are delivered from Scotlands most unique training facility. Light and airy, you literally step into our classrooms on the banks of the River Clyde which are afloat in the harbour. Outside, the boats are right there in front of you. You really do get a good maritime experience coming to us.

Our premises are staffed literally everyday of the year! We welcome you to pop in for a chat about your training requirements at an arranged time.

The Office/ Classroom/ Tea Room

Our Expertise

Our expertise is training in vessels you will navigate out in the sea, coastal, inshore and inland waters where it can all go wrong so quickly. We train in both traditional navigation and modern electronic navigational methods.

In modern times large ships basically navigate themselves around the world using automated navigation methods, but we know that isn’t the case on the boats we use.

A knowledge of rocks, wrecks and other obstructions and being a good boat handler is essential for the vessel, crew and passenger safety.

Methods of Navigation

Student : Instructor

We believe in helping you become a proficient boat handler. On our Powerboat Level 2 for example, we offer a 1:1 private student:instructor course. This enables individual attention to assist you through the course if you truly desire this option. This gives you much more time behind the wheel and time to relax into your course. It really gives your instructor time to get to know what your personal requirements are when it comes to your chosen course.

• Professional qualifications
• powerboat-advanced

RYA Powerboat Advanced Professional Qualifications

RYA powerboat courses are primarily for those using small powered craft such as RIBs, dories and sportsboats that don't generally undertake long or offshore passages.

The types of commercial craft requiring this level of certification are typically: charter fishing boats, small passenger launches, thrill ride operators, harbour patrol launches, construction site safety boats etc. If you will be using larger boats with accommodation and the capacity to cruise or work further offshore you are likely to need a certificate within the motor cruising programme such as Day Skipper, Coastal Skipper or Yachtmaster Offshore. There are two types of Advanced certificate:

a)  A course completion certificate awarded by a training centre on successful completion of a two-day training course

b) A certificate of competence awarded by the RYA/MCA on successful completion of an exam

If you need a Powerboat Advanced certificate in order to work on board a commercial craft subject to the MCA's codes of practice, you will need to get it commercially endorsed. You can then work on commercial vessels up to 24m in length, operating in category 3, 4, 5 and 6 waters - that is up to 20 miles from a safe haven. Please note: it is only possible to commercially endorse an RYA/MCA Powerboat Advanced Certificate of Competence (option b above). The only exception to this is if you were awarded a course completion certificate (option a above) prior to 1 January 2005, in which case you may obtain a commercial endorsement without having to pass the exam.

We have been running instructor courses at the school for over ten years and in our time have trained many hundreds to become RYA instructors. Whether you want to become a RYA Powerboat or a Personal Watercraft Instructor or you want to instruct within the motor cruising scheme as a RYA Cruising Instructor we have courses scheduled throughout the year.

We also run courses to prepare people for their Powerboat Trainers assessment and Yachtmaster Instructor and Examiner courses on demand.

Powerboat Instructor

Become a RYA Powerboat Instructor to be able to teach Level 1, Level 2 and potentially the Safety Boat course as part of a RYA Training Centre. A great way to share your passion for boating with others.

Powerboat Instructor Skills Assessment

This is a mandatory requirement ahead of the Powerboat Instructors course. If possible undertake the assessment 4 – 6 weeks before the Instructor course but we always schedule assessments for the day before an Instructor course just in case you can’t make it sooner.

Advanced Powerboat Instructor

An Advanced Instructor can teach the Advanced Powerboat and Intermediate Powerboat courses and run own boat training away from the centre’s base.

Personal Watercraft Instructor

A PW Instructor can teach the RYA Personal Watercraft Proficiency course and the RYA Introduction to Personal Watercraft Safety course at a recognised RYA Training Centre.

Cruising Instructor

Got a passion for motorboating and want to share that passion – why not become a RYA Motor Cruising Instructor? As a commercially endorsed YM Offshore you can take this 4 day course on our boats or with a specifically arranged private course.

RYA Cymru Wales AGM 2024 Round Up

RYA Cymru Wales was delighted to launch its vision for the future with the publication of a new five-year strategy at its Annual General Meeting.

The AGM took place on Saturday 30 March online and in-person at Sport Wales National Centre (Cardiff, South Wales), Plas Menai Outdoor Centre (Caernarfon, North Wales) and Neyland Yacht Club (Pembrokeshire, West Wales).

Hosted by the board of RYA Cymru Wales, attendees also included RYA members and representatives of Affiliated Clubs and Training Centres.

The AGM received and approved the RYA Cymru Wales Annual Report 2022-23 and the Accounts for the year ending 31 March 2023 .

Achievements & opportunities

Presenting the achievements outlined in the Annual Report 2022-23 , RYA Cymru Wales Chair Sian Reynolds said: “We continued to make fantastic progress thanks to the continued efforts and teamwork of invaluable volunteers and dedicated staff throughout Wales. It’s been inspiring to see so many of our clubs in Wales thriving despite continued challenges.”

Among the successes highlighted were performances outcomes from aspiring Olympian Micky Beckett, young yacht sailors Lou Boorman and Elin Jones and iQ foiler Catrin Williams; Gresford SC becoming an RYA Club of the Year finalist and Merthyr Tydfil SC’s refurbished clubhouse; activities including instructor training, youth and junior events and squads; and the purchase of eight multi-stacking trailers available for free hire to reduce travel costs and environmental impact.

Sian added: “As I look back on the time covered by this annual report, it’s a cause of frustration to have to exclude some further achievements across our sailing and boating community that have happened since the year ending March 2023. The annual report doesn’t capture the additional fantastic achievements of our staff, volunteers and clubs however this is illustrative of the genuine momentum we have achieved – we’ll have to wait for the next annual report ending March 2024 to really showcase the continued tremendous work of our staff, volunteers, clubs and Board.”

The AGM also noted emerging disciplines such as foiling and winging, and the boom in gateway sports such as paddleboarding, creating new experiences and opportunities for people to enjoy getting on the water and closer to watersports.

Thanks were given to Ruth Iliffe for her role in the development of the sport in Wales and to partners including Sport Wales, Plas Menai National Outdoor Centre and Plas Heli National Sailing Academy, and the Reardon Smith Nautical Trust .

The meeting then saw the official launch of the RYA Cymru Wales strategy for 2024-2029: Together on our Waters, and the announcement of the first Impact Award winners.

Gyda’n Gilydd ar ein Dyfroedd - Together on our Waters

Launching the new strategy, RYA Cymru Wales Interim CEO James Stuart said: “ There is a deliberately strong relationship with UK but equally deliberate is that this strategy is about Wales and what it means to us here. It’s important to dwell on the idea of welcome – croeso - because the first step of anybody’s journey into our sport or indeed staying in our sport is making people feel they belong and want to come back.

“What’s at the heart of this strategy is a community that loves the water and wants to spend time getting out on it, and wants to share that experience with others and look after those very waters – so working towards being together on our waters is the central theme that drives it and if we get it right we will become a connected, inspired and inclusive sailing and boating community.”

James added that the framework for the strategy would be a virtuous cycle of encouraging people to get on the water, stay on the water and give back: “This cycle already exists so it’s not about imposing something new but about accelerating what is there. This will shape our work for the future and we’re looking forward to working with everyone in Welsh sailing and boating and with our partners to bring it to life.”

Welcoming the new strategy, AGM attendee Des George from Dovey YC summed up that he felt it was “straight from the heart, straightforward and pragmatic”, adding: “It really aligns with what we’re trying to do at our club and I think it’s great.”

RYA Cymru Wales Impact Awards

Announcing the first-ever RYA Cymru Wales Impact Awards, CEO James Stuart said the aim was to recognise not only volunteers but also those who may currently sit outside the remit of existing awards – the staff and professionals who likewise deliver a huge amount of activity on the water.

He said: “These awards are about recognising those who make a difference, alongside the awards that are already there, and the aim is to reach every corner of our sports, whether that’s someone helping with a comment on a planning application for a wind farm or an instructor.

“The key criteria is ‘how does this individual or organisation stand out from their peer group?’ and what has been fantastic to see is the quality of nominations: there are some truly staggering people doing some really amazing things across the whole of Wales.”

The first two Impact Award recipients to be revealed were RYA instructor and trainer Jamie Johnson, who until recently was chief instructor at Plas Menai, and Freya Terry, an instructor at Pembrokeshore Performance Sailing Academy.

James added: “Jamie has been a stalwart of the National Outdoor Centre and he has not only given four decades worth of service but has had a cascade of impact from that service, inspiring people from their very first experiences right the way through to some of the most senior instructors and trainers across the country.”

For Freya, he said it was her customer service which stood out from the powerful testimony submitted by PPSA: “The consistent feedback in Freya’s work setting was that she did do just what these awards are about: going above and beyond and really thinking carefully about the people in front of her and how to help them on the journey they wanted to go on.”

RYA Cymru Wales looks forward to sharing Jamie and Freya’s stories, and to announcing future Impact Award recipients, over the coming weeks. The awards will be a rolling programme with recipients approved by the RYA Cymru Wales board at least four times a year.
