PRACTICAL TRAINING
Powerboat Training NZ offers a broad range of boat training, including RYA training and qualifications, and comprehensive own-boat tuition on your powerboat or ours. The most popular RYA training is the RYA Powerboat Level 2 which is required within the superyacht industry amongst many others.
Our most popular training is the private or own boat training, which ensures you receive the best possible training to quickly bring you to a competent and confident level in the operation of your own powerboat.
Our RYA courses are internationally recognised qualifications
ONLINE TRAINING
We get it, hands-on training out on the water is super important. But we also understand that there are some boat smarts you can pick up before hitting the waves or as a quick refresher. That's why we're all about making things easier in today's world.
Right now, we've got some online resources and training options available, and we're working on making them even better down the line. So, keep an eye out for updates – we're developing some exciting new products in this space!
Professional Training
Our expertise goes way beyond just having fun on the water, and you might be surprised by all the ways we can help in the professional world. We're here to assist a wide range of people and industries:
Individuals looking to get hands-on training for crewing, especially in the superyacht industry.
Companies that need custom training programs to stay on the right side of regulations.
Employees of these companies, teaching them how to handle boats safely in different water situations.
Search and Rescue teams getting ready for action in their own areas.
We're also here to help government bodies with our advice.
We offer internationally recognised RYA qualifications, so you'll have a certificate that proves your skills. Plus, we can whip up specialised training just for you, even giving you a dual certification with our Powerboat Training NZ stamp.
And here's the cool part – we're not limited to Auckland. We've done this all over New Zealand and even in other parts of the world. Why? Because we believe it's super valuable for people to learn on the boats they'll actually be working with, in their own backyards.
