Pure Latitude is not just a powerboat school. We deliver high quality RYA Powerboat level 2 courses on our powerful club rib – with a focus on bespoke support and development through our training membership plans.
Our RYA powerboat level 2 courses are tailored to your previous experience and boating goals. Low instructor – student ratios ensure a high quality learning experience focused on your specific strengths and weaknesses. The bespoke nature of our courses ensures you maximise your training time – you can also bring family and friends at no extra cost.
Our base in Hamble offers immediate access to the Solent – the heartbeat of UK boating. Situated between Southampton and Portsmouth, we are easily accessed by road or rail. The Solent is a beautiful and demanding training location, with beautiful bays and harbours, varied pilotage options, challenging winds, complex tides and busy waterways. RYA powerboat level 2 courses completed in the Solent are held in high regard worldwide – it’s often said if you can navigate safely in this Solent you can go boating anywhere.
Learning doesn’t finish at the end of the course. The same could be said for any discipline, but when it comes to boating, experience is everything.
Skippering boats is an ongoing journey, not just a destination. The formal RYA powerboat level 2 syllabus ensures you have the range of knowledge needed, but it’s having a way to practice, test and develop your skills each you get afloat that turns knowledge into expertise.
We provide the environment for members to spend whatever time they need skippering, be that on their own, on a 1:1 basis with an instructor or in a small group setting joining one of our popular events. In all cases, they focus on the specific things that matter to them – and that makes them more experienced boaters.
We developed our boat share club to make bespoke learning accessible, hassle-free and affordable. Add in our unique mix of sail and power boat training options and you have the perfect blend.
Thank you to all of you for your help and support. I and the crew feel really proud of our trip to France. My first across the channel and also my first as skipper.
I’d like to thank everyone at Pure Latitude for helping to enable what would have seemed an impossible dream only 3 years ago.
