for anyone new to
powerboating and those whose
primary role will be as crew
on a powerboat. By the end
of the course participants
will be able to safely and
effectively crew a powerboat

Cost €190.00
ISA National Powerboat
Certificate
By the end of this two day
course the successful
participant will be capable
of helming without
supervision in good
conditions and familiar
waters.
The aim of this two day
course is to develop the
skills and knowledge that
allow participants to safely
and effectively skipper an
open powerboat by day, on
inland and coastal waters
with which they are
familiar.
The ISA recommends this
Certificate as the minimum
level of training/knowledge
required before anyone uses
a power boat on their own.
In the majority of cases
beginners would do this
course and the Introduction
to Powerboating as part of
the same Two day course. The
certificate can also be
achieved through direct
assessment by a Powerboat
Instructor.General
All the courses in the ISA
Powerboat Training scheme
can be taught in
displacement as well as
planing boats with the
exception of the Advanced
Certificate. The ISA Inland
Waterways Scheme provides
the most appropriate
training for anyone wishing
to use large displacement
motorboats on Inland waters.
The ISA Yachtmaster scheme
provides for the needs of
those wishing to cruise at
sea & in larger Motorboats.
Cost €310.00
ISA
Advanced Powerboat
Certificate
By the end of this course,
the successful participant
will have a sound
introduction to using fast
open boats at sea. An
essentially practical course
equipping experienced boat
users with the tools
necessary to take fast open
boats like RIBs on coastal
passages, this course covers
skills ranging from advanced
boat handling through to
pilotage by day and night.
It will be assumed that
every student starting this
course has already mastered
the skills and absorbed the
background knowledge
required for the ISA Day
skipper (shore based
course).
Cost €400.00
Age
Restrictions
The ISA recommends that no
one under the age of sixteen
years should be left in
charge of any powerboat
without appropriate adult
supervision.
Under Irish law it is
illegal for anyone under the
age of sixteen to operate a
powerboat that is capable of
17 knots or more. ISA
powerboat schools are
therefore unable to offer
training courses in planing
boats to anyone under
sixteen years old. However
if you are under sixteen you
may do the Introduction to
Powerboating or the National
Powerboat Certificate in a
displacement boat, where
this is available.
