Course information
Registrations for this course are closed.
Please Note
This is a two day and one Friday evening course at Somers Yacht Club as we have combined Start Powerboating and Powerboat Handling. This course is heavily subsidised for members as your skills will be valuable for facilitating club activities.
The Friday night and Saturday of the course is theory based, along with being hands on in the boatyard looking at equipment. The final day is on the water gaining boat handling skills.
Course Overview
The Powerboat Handling (PBH) Certificate is achieved by completing two course components:
-
Powerboat Program Essential Skills e-learning – The online theory course must be completed before attending this Powerboat Handling face-to-face course.
-
Powerboat Handling face-to-face course – A one-day practical course focusing on boat handling, particularly in confined areas such as marinas and in challenging conditions like swell and waves. Participants will also gain a deeper understanding of engines, different types of craft, and navigation techniques during a passage.
Together, these components provide the knowledge and practical skills required to handle a powerboat safely and confidently.
In some instances, you can take your Powerboat Handling completion certificate to your State Maritime Regulator and gain the State Boat License.
Who should complete this course?
This course is designed for participants to develop their practical powerboat driving skills. Attaining this course is a component to the PBH certificate and that is also a requirement for becoming a Powerboat, Dinghy and/or Windsurfing Instructor.
Course Outcome
You will gain your Powerboat Handling completion certificate.
