Internationally recognized Powerboat and Zodiac Training

The port of Scheveningen is the perfect location to learn how to manoeuvre in narrow spaces, but also how to navigate alongside a large ship.
The jetties are either windward or leeward, and here you will get to experience the influence of the wind.
Since we are a Coastal Powerboat School, the tides are also discussed. If the sea permits we are on the open North Sea within 5 minutes. We ride out to the cardinals and take compass bearings.
Furthermore, we practice ‘Man over Board’ manoeuvres at sea, and get acquainted with sailing the rib in tidal waters and navigate back in on the leading lights.

The strict requirements of the RYA (Royal Yachting Association) apply to the certification of Internationally recognized boating courses.
Every year our school is inspected for safety, inventory and administration by an RYA inspector from the United Kingdom.
We argue that safety, knowledge and service are of paramount importance to us.
