Combined Bundle 1 - Powerboat Essentials
The ability to be confident and qualified is often overlooked. This is a huge mistake not only for your safety, how can you call for help when you need it! But also for the more fun things you will want to do like booking a visitor berth in a marina or talking to your flotilla mates to organise arrivals and social events. Here at Corfu Powerboating we have combined these two courses which can be booked at a discount. The VHF course can be taken in our classroom, usually follwingon from the practical course or using the online simulation at a time to suit you
