I recently took the PB2 course, couldn't recommend it enough. All the staff were friendly and helpful. The course was well organised with good facilities and great boats. Sharon was a great instructor and enabled me to get lots out of the two day course, keeping us safe and building my confidence and skills. Well done all.

RYA PB2 Course Review
I recently took the PB2 course, couldn't recommend it enough. All the staff were friendly and helpful. The course was well organised with good facilities and great boats. Sharon was a great instructor and enabled me to get lots out of the two day course, keeping us safe and building my confidence and skills. Well done all.
Excellent tuition and very good training room facilities. Friendly and supportive tutor Iain making time and easy to converse with. Everything explained properly. Excellent Rib and boating facilities. Balance of theory and practical seemed just right. Very enjoyable experience during my intermediate power boat course. Will book again for further courses.

Many thanks for the 5 star review David. We are so pleased you had a great weekend and look forward to being able to help again.
What an experience, what a joy, what a thrill! Absolutely loved it! The trainer Oakley is a brilliant young coach. Still 22 though, he’s a mini encyclopaedia of the sea!
Will love you join you again in the Advance Level!

Exceptional teaching with patience !
Exceptional teaching. I came away feeling much more confident and it’s far better than doing online. The course is intense but Josh helped me through and was highly professional as are all at this training centre. Much appreciated and I highly recommend you book with them for coastal theory. Thanks very much ! .
I did Power Boat 2 course on Thursday and Friday last week. I was lucky enough to be the only person on the course and I was on the helm all the time for the practical part of the course except for the moments when Oakley was demonstrating something. His instructions were clear and I felt confident to handle the rib and execute the various manoeuvres by the end of the course. We took the rib from Saxon wharf down to Hamble Point where we had a good lunch break. The desk bound part of the course was extensive covering navigation, setting a course, tides, wind, buoys, charts, safety etc, all explained clearly and patiently by Oakley who was quick to appreciate when something needed to be explained again. You will not find a better course than this anywhere. Oakley was brilliant.

Lots of experience, delivered in a highly collaborative manner
Completed RYA Advanced Powerboat CoC + Prep with Andy and his team in Feb 2026. Have done a few courses with a few shops over the years. Very impressed with OceanSportsTuition. The instructor was highly supportive, professional and flexed the plans based on the needs of myself and the other candidates - I was particularly impressed with the culture of the firm and how this comes through in the approach of instructors, i.e. safety first, non-condescending, service-led attitude. A great environment to learn in. Andy and the centre did a great job supporting us to prepare for the exam appropriately and I went in feeling well versed in the various aspects that we were examined on. I thoroughly enjoyed it, learned a lot and will look to use OceanSportsTuition again.
Just completed my Yachtmaster Offshore prep week with Josh from Ocean Sports prior to my YM exam. The week really helped set me up ahead of the actual exam giving me lots of real world scenarios to practice and hone my skillset prior to the big day! Josh has a great hands on approach to coaching and a detailed depth of knowledge on what to expect and how to deliver on the day. An invaluable coaching experience which I would recommend to anyone looking to complete the Yachtmaster accreditation. Many thanks to Josh and the wider Ocean Sports Team!
