Your day starts in our classroom, based at the former home of Laurence Durrell in Kalami
"The White House"
This two-day entry level course (Maximum of 3 students)
(Must be in English)
provides the skills and background knowledge needed to drive a powerboat and is the basis of the International Certificate of Competence (ICC).
For people with some boating experience, we can offer a direct assessment which can be completed in one day. Mention this when enquiring.
A short set of confidence building exercise covering the points you feel need work can be part of a trip.
First we will take a coffee in The White House at Kalami "Your Classroom"
Their will only be your group!
We will not put you with anybody else!

How long is the course?
The course has to be two days (RYA Rule) If you have enough experience a direct assessment (more like a test of competence One Day) We like to keep the course as enjoyable as possible going to the nicest locations in the area
Corfu is Hot and Sunny! most of the summer, therefore sun cream and sunglasses are essential but occasionally storms can develop, and as Power Boating is a weather dependent sport and if conditions are unsuitable it may be necessary to postpone and rearrange sessions. We will endeavor to do so at times suitable to the group.
Water sports, are a physical activity, and involve (low) risks of injury or drowning. All trainees must be water confident. All trainees must wear Life Jackets (provided) and suitable clothing. You could possibly get wet and you may get cold if under dressed.
