RYA Powerboat Courses in Greece

"Nik"

Our principal training powerboat is a 5.5m Dromor RIB powered by a 115 HP Yamaha outboard . She is easy to handle yet reaches a top speed of 40 knots.

She has a portable VHF radio and GPS plus a powerful engine tilt and trim system. She also provides valuable support for our RYA sailing courses in Greece.

RIBS (rigid inflatable boats) are by far the best option for powerboat training. They offer high buoyancy, great power to weight ratio and are less intimidating for newcomers learning how to moor a boat.

'Nik' is typical of the most popular type of powerboat and the skills you will learn will be easily transferable to boats you will rent or purchase.

The school has a strong foundation and offers a variety of RYA courses. The instructors are highly experienced, and I am very satisfied with the quality of the training. The courses I took include Radar, Diesel Engine, Yacht Master Offshore Motor preparation, and examination.

A brilliant week on Mafalda 2 with Ivan as captain. The friendly instruction, professionalism and patience from Ivan and everyone elseat Corfu Sea School resulted in an amazing learning experience. There is a lot of learning but its done in a way thats very enjoyable and there is still time to enjoy yourself in the evenings. I am so glad i chose Corfu Sea Schoolfor my training and cannot recommend them highly enough.

We spent two weeks with Corfu Sea School doing Comp Crew and Day Skipper. The online theory we did prior to arriving in Corfu was really well put together!Our instructors Phil and Roman were super friendly, seriously experienced and gifted teachers. Knowing when to step in and when to let us get on with it. The stressful business of ‘take-off and landing’ was soon sorted as we grew in confidence.We had a fab, fun holiday and came away with new skills we can’t wait to put into practice (the flotilla holiday next year is already booked 😃).I cannot imagine a better organisation to see you on your sailing journey.Many thanks to Steve, Phil and Roman and the whole of the team. We loved it!

A unique experience for the sailing aficionados! Positive atmosphere, serious professionalism, great fun, all in one! Did the competence crew and covered all the curriculum and even more! Phil is a great trainer, opening our appetite for more sailing! IMHO the best place in Greece to learn sailing no matter if you are a beginner or want to refresh and improve your skills.

A great course lead by a great instructor- thank you Mark! the theory was well organised online prior to the in person course. The week in corfu was intense but absolutely worth it, I had a great time with the rest of my crew. All staff were lovely and had a great sense of humour. 100% recommend.

What a GREAT week! My husband and I just ended our competency crew sailing course. What an unforgettable experience ! We learned sooo much, had a wonderful time, made new friends and visited gorgeous places. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Mark, our instructor, was very knowledgeable, professional and friendly. Steve, the owner was always timely with his responses anytime we had any inquiries prior to arriving at Corfu (and beyond). Staff was just as pleasant. Don’t hesitate to book. We are already planning on turning for our day skipper certificate.

Fantastic school I highly recommend this professional sea school company.I did in July 2023 complete my competent crew course followed by day skipper course and finished with level two powerboat course and got my radio license all in two weeks, Tuesday through Sunday.My English speaking instructors were extremely competent, very knowledgeable and easygoing which made the two weeks very enjoyable.Putting in the study hours before arriving made the whole course easier to absorb and I highly recommend you do the same whichever school you choose.A big thanks guys.

I did the 5-day RYA coastal skipper course at the Corfu Sea School in May/June 2023 and I really enjoyed it.We sailed on the school's Beneteau 331 'Elati' with our instructor Roman. It was admirable how he managed to find the perfect balance between relaxation and learning every day. He managed to convey both theoretical and practical knowledge very well.All in all, five instructive and also fun days, which exceeded my expectations.
