Rya powerboat level 2.

• August 2, 2023

RYA Powerboat level 2 is great to have if you are a Deckhand on board a Yacht that have been assigned Tender Driving duties on a Yacht, the Chief Officer on board would need you to have a RYA Powerboat Level 2 License. This is mandatory in the Mediterranean when driving tenders for Owners and Guests and when it comes to senior Deckhands it is mandatory to have together with your Basic Safety Training and ENG1 Medical Certificate. The Powerboat Level 2 is a course issued by RYA. 

Do you need Powerboat Level 2 to get a Yacht Deckhand Job?

  The Bosun, Lead Deckhand and Senior Deckhands 100% have the Powerboat Level 2 certificate. If you are just starting out as a Deckhand looking for your job it is not always necessary, since you probably would have more senior crew driving the tenders. After 1-2 months on board your first Deckhand job, it would be good to re-invest your salary to get the RYA Powerboat Level 2 certificate and start operating the Yacht Tenders.

The minimum certificates recommended for a Junior Deckhand are:

• STCW Basic Safety
• ENG1 Medical Certificate
• STCW Personal Designated Security Duties
• Seamans Discharge book
• Professional Deckhand CV

What is included in the RYA Powerboat Level 2 Yacht Crew training course?

This two-day entry level course provides the skills and background knowledge needed to drive a powerboat and is the basis of the International Certificate of Competence. It aims to teach boat handling and seamanship in powerboats. It focuses on low-speed close quarters handling, man overboard recovery, an introduction to driving at planning speed, and collision regulations. The course can be taken on the coast and your certificate will be endorsed accordingly.

During the RYA Powerboat Level 2 training you will learn:

• Launching and Recovery
• Boat Handling
• Securing to a Buoy
• Berthing and Unberthing
• Man, Overboard Situations

Should all Yacht Crew have Powerboat Level 2 Training?

  If you are a Stewardess , Chef or Engineer a Powerboat License on most Yachts will not be necessary. The license only needs to be held by the crew on board that will be driving the tenders in order to operate them legally. Each country has its own national Powerboat License, RYA is a UK license and the most common one. But there is a good chance another Powerboat license will be equivalent. If you have the budget and look to become a Deckhand it would be good to have the RYA Powerboat level 2 certificate.

Should I include Powerboat Level 2 when writing my Deckhand CV?

When a Chief Officer or Captain looks for new Deckhand to join, he might need someone with a Powerboat Level 2 license, if he does not have Deckhands on board having this already, it just makes his life easier on board knowing that all deckhand crew have got the license and it would look good on your Deckhand CV.When you book Deckhand Premium STCW Training we also write your Deckhand CV for you.

What is the best place to do RYA Powerboat Level 2?

There are several Training centers in the UK offering Powerboat Level 2 since it is a UK-license. Other Locations in Europe are:

We include the possibility to add get the RYA Powerboat Level 2 training and get the License to work on Superyachts as a Deckhand.

A Deckhand Story – Yachtiecareers Student

Fredrik Fiskerstrand wanted to join yachts from Norway where he was living and working. He booked the Yachtiecareers training with:

• Personal Designated Security Duties
• YCA Deckhand Training
• Deckhand CV Writing

He secured his first job on a 90m Motor yacht MY Ectasea, despite not having completed his RYA Powerboat level 2 training.  So, it is not always necessary for a Junior Deckhand starting his first job. Once completing the first month on board he used his salary to add the RYA Powerboat Level 2 Certificate to his CV and qualifications in his new Deckhand roles.

RYA Powerboat Level 2

Rya powerboat level 2 overview view dates.

The RYA Powerboat Level 2 Course (RYA PB2) offers a general introduction to power boating and teaches core boat handling and safety skills. The course is popular both with beginners and those who are self taught and now require formal certification.

The course is generally considered, the licence for powerboats. The qualification is widely recognised throughout the world. The Powerboat Level 2 (formerly known as the National Powerboat Certificate) covers everything in the RYA Powerboat Level 1 and a lot more.

The RYA PB2 course takes two days

WHAT ARE THE PRE REQUISITES FOR RYA POWERBOAT LEVEL 2 ?

**Under 16s are advised, “Not be in charge of a powerboat unless under the supervision of a responsible adult”. We run separate Junior Powerboat Courses.

WHAT IS COVERED ON THE RYA POWERBOAT LEVEL 2 COURSE?

This course is largely practical onboard the powerboat. There are some short theory sections to complete.

The course provides everything you need to get started with an emphasis on you becoming confident and competent at boat handling and being aware of the associated safety consideration and equipment. The RYA Powerboat Level 2 is broadly equivalent to a series of driving lessons, but a lot more fun.

The RYA Powerboat Level Two will prepare you for driving a powerboat unsupervised with confidence. While primarily a boat handling (parking) course you may consider following it up with the RYA Powerboat Intermediate Course which covers high speed navigation and passage making in far more detail.

RYA PB2 Training at Chieftain Training is comprehensive. We aim to make life as easy as possible for our students and provide the following within the course:

• 2 days of instruction

Fast Track 1:1 day for experienced drivers

If you already have experience as a powerboater, need to gain your Level 2 certifIcate and don’t wish to undertake the introductory elements of the Level 2 course, you can instead attend a shorter 1:1 course which consists of the relevant coaching and a direct assessment. Please contact us to find out more.

“Teen” Powerboat Level 2 (RYA PB2) courses

Lets face it, our kids probably have more fun without us around. 12-15 years old can join our Youth Powerboat Level 2 Course . They receive the same course, however they will be learning with other 12-15 year olds.

“Family” Powerboat Level 2 courses

If you have just bought a new boat why not train together as a family. We train upto 3 of you together or can spread a larger family across 2 boats. Full information is at Family Level 2 Courses .
