Customer Reviews

My 5th training course overall as I seek to better prepare for ownership : hands down the best instruction ever experienced . Well paced , interactive , plenty of real world examples to bring the syllabus to life , and it was fun. Andrew and Ian are a formidable double act , and whilst I now have the Certification I wanted for safe ownership, I'm going to keep learning - I'd love to do it with these two larkers ! This is a gem of an Owner Managed Operation. Get in whilst you can as courses fill up very quickly , as these two are supremely gifted at sharing what they have learned - and they have learned a great deal.

Here for powerboat lvl2, having never been on a boat. Can't praise Andrew enough, from help and information over the phone and by email, before and while looking for a boat, to cruising on the humber confidently completing man over board manoeuvres. No sales pressure, and a great approach to teaching both in and out the classroom. Thank you 👍

I completed my Day Skipper Practical with Andrew and Ian; a very friendly and safe learning atmosphere both in the classroom and on the boat. Enough time is spent on everything to get people to where they need to be, and both Andrew and Ian have a wealth of expereince and knowledge that they bring to proceedings. Would definitely recommend!

Just finished YachtMaster Offshore. Fantastic course delivered professionally but in a relaxed style that built confidence and knowledge. Ideal boat for manoeuvring and navigating. A great package and well worth the money. Would highly recommend.

I have just done my level 2 powerboat training with nautical circle, they were so professional, it was very interesting and great fun. I would gladly recommend Andrew and his team.
