Course Overview
This comprehensive workboat course focuses on practical, real-world skills for those operating vessels in a professional environment. It is tailored for individuals who use boats in their day-to-day work.
Course Information
This 2-day course is based in Bristol Harbour and gives you practical experience in both a tiller steer boat and a console steer workboat, including a trip up the harbour and out into the River Avon via Netham Lock.
Designed for those who need to drive or manoeuvre a powerboat of up to 10 metres as part of their work, the course covers the core skills to do so safely and confidently in daylight conditions. You'll leave with the RYA Powerboat Level 2 certificate.
The hands-on experience across two different craft types is particularly valuable for anyone likely to encounter a variety of vessels in a river or working waterway environment.

Course Location
Bristol Harbour
The course is based in Bristol's Floating Harbour, a working waterway in the heart of the city and a fitting environment for anyone training to use a powerboat professionally.
The harbour itself provides excellent conditions for building core boat handling skills, with slow-speed manoeuvring practice amongst the varied craft, pontoons and landings you'd expect to encounter on a real working waterway. Unlike a leisure marina, the Floating Harbour exposes you to the kinds of vessels and activity you're more likely to meet on the job, from working boats and barges to ferries and survey craft.
From the harbour, the course takes you up through the city and out onto the River Avon via Netham Lock, giving you practical experience of locking through a working lock, a skill directly relevant to those operating in river and canal environments. Once on the Avon, you'll practise driving in flowing water with tidal influence and river traffic adding genuine complexity to the navigation.
The Bristol Harbour location is also practically convenient, easily accessible from the city centre and well-connected by road for teams travelling from across the region.
