Equipment needed

For all our powerboat courses we advise you to wear more than you think you’ll need. Being on the water (even on a warm day) combined with high windspeeds means you’ll get cold and probably wet from spray and waves.

We will provide you with a full kit list upon booking.

  • Comfortable clothing, suitable for the time of year*
  • Waterproof jacket and trousers
  • Old Trainers / plimsolls / neoprene beach shoes**
  • Glasses retainers (if you wear glasses).
  • Waterproof phone case.
  • Medication / Tablets / Inhaler etc.

The above list is just a guide and appropriate clothing for the time of year should be worn.

*Clothing should comprise of several layers to trap the warmth. Please do not wear denim as it restricts movement, is cold when wet and is slow to dry.

**Please wear soft-soled shoes such as trainers; you are not permitted to wear walking boots or footwear with sharp heels etc. as these can damage the tubes of our boat.
