Aboard Boat Coaching is our business name under which we are a recognised training centre with the Royal Yachting Association (RYA). Our operating base is at Premier Universal Marina, Sarisbury Green, where we have 2 separate classrooms, an office and separate and inclusive toilet facilities onsite, this is our only RYA training venue. We are located on the river Hamble. All our courses run from 9 am until around 5 pm unless stated otherwise in the joining instructions. All of our courses have maximum numbers which are displayed in each of the course descriptions. We are ideally placed for Solent boat training – being an RYA course provider or own boat tuition. We only teach what we are insured to teach on, something that we ensure we are robustly covered for.

We supply all course materials free of charge and we only teach in the English Language. Our VHF Courses have an extra fee built into our pricing which is made payable to the RYA for the VHF Radio exam, (when applying for your Short Range Certificate). We have no hidden costs for any course and we handle all the admin so you don’t have to.
