Course Overview 

The Powerboat Handling (PBH) Certificate is achieved by completing two course components:

  1. Powerboat Handling face-to-face course – A one-day practical course focusing on boat handling, particularly in confined areas such as marinas and in challenging conditions like swell and waves. Participants will also gain a deeper understanding of engines, different types of craft, and navigation techniques during a passage.
