ONE SPACE NOW AVAILABLE - Poole w/c 14th Sept - Are you a commercial Skipper or a leisure user keen to operate at the highest level of radar and electronic navigation competence? If you are then you should be looking at our MCA Small Ships Navigation & Radar course. We run this course across both our Southampton and Poole bases and are now able (with approval from the MCA) to come and run the course at your home location. With our courses there was always a station per learner as we have always been of the view that doing so created the best learning experience and the best value for your investment. We’re delighted to see that the MCA shares this view and in their course update in July states a 1:1 ratio as a mandatory requirement. If you want to learn more about the course then checkout our website here where you can also watch our introductory video. https://www.powerboat-training-uk.co.uk/courses/mca-radar-ecs/

NOW FILLED!!!! - FREE BOATING! Weds 29th July - 1300 - 1630 from Cobbs Quay marina. We are running another of our RYA Powerboat Instructor courses and need 1x people with no experience to come afloat and be taught by the trainee instructors under the guidance of Instructor instructors! If interested please email [email protected] and I will message you - regards, Viv (Over 18s only and you’ll need to come dressed as if you were going out for a walk - we will provide all safety gear.) …and the message from Anne after attending after a previous such post proves how much fun it is …”I was the lucky person who got to play on a RIB for the afternoon. Although, I was a little anxious, I had a lovely time. Both the trainee instructors and the instructor instructor, were enthusiastic, friendly and determined to ensure that I loved being on the water as much as they did - and I did 🙂 Now, how much money do I need to find to buy a RIB? Wonderful experience - thank you!”

Lifeboats form the RNLI, Independent Lifeboat Services and Fire & Rescue Teams are launching again and again this summer to people who are getting into difficulty in our seas, rivers and lakes. Have you briefed your family members what to do if they get into difficulty? The ‘Float To Live‘ campaign is a real lifesaver. Hear Euans story and make sure you tell everyone you can - big small, old young, swimmers non-swimmers about the technique. DO YOUR BIT and maybe save a life! https://rnli.org/magazine/magazine-featured-list/2026/may/float-to-live-euan-gray?utm_source=LocalAmbassador&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=LocalAmbassador&utm_content=261688750-WaterSafety-LocalAmbassador-1707-Act2-hero&actId=~aeWvLtMeDzM3FtmnFuJNfLp8dHYLKpfc_SJuDZwPAbsusfBdXF8Y50I5a7vcSYmaFB909T--UOYKp6EqWtimndCMGwzyG8xsrDGNvMWv3W6X6-MPlIj_m5w%3D%3D&actCampaignType=CAMPAIGN_MAIL&actSource=516434

How many businesses have been around for 50 years? Of those that have, how many are owned by the same people that started the business? Of those how many are managed by the same family that started the business? …. and of those how many can say they have impacted the lives of many thousand of young people introducing them to the joy of being afloat in powerboats, on dinghies and windsurf boards, in kayaks and on paddleboards, perhaps giving them something really positive at a difficult time and perhaps even inspiring them to a career in the watersports industry in all its forms? Last weekend we were honoured to join members of the local marine industry, clients, and current and former team members at Rockley Watersports 50th birthday celebrations at the Lighthouse in Poole. Being at such an event makes you reflect on what an amazing contribution Rockley have made, and continue to make, to watersports in Poole and nationally. Rockley and all associated with you - well done, thank you and long may it continue!
