You do get what you pay for when you choose a training centre and here at Aboard Boat Coaching, we offer a very fair and competitive price for what you get. We make no excuses for charging more money for a Course than some other schools, but think about this for a moment, there must be a reason, right? There is, you get a quality course and work with quality equipment, taught by fantastic Instructors. We are not far from Southampton – directly on the river Hamble. Southampton Water, the Solent and the Isle of Wight are on our doorstep too.
