Thank you to Caoimhe and Declan for making this an interesting and truly fun weekend! It was great seeing all of us in action and getting to understand the workings of a power boat! You created a great memory and a new hobby to develop :)
We had a brilliant weekend at Dun Laoghaire Powerboat School and can’t recommend it enough. The course was really well run, with loads of time on the water and a perfect balance of learning and enjoyment. Declan, our instructor, was outstanding — patient, clear, encouraging and focused on safety, practical skills and helping us to be successful. We covered so much, from high-speed manoeuvring and coming alongside to man-over-board recovery, knots, navigation and tides. My teenage son and I both finished the weekend feeling confident, fully qualified, and delighted with our Powerboat Certificates. A fantastic experience for any beginner looking to get started.
What a Great Team and what a Great Organisation to make you a Captain in only two days. Oscar was such a great pro to teach you Everything and made it serious but funny in the Same time. Such a nice weekend. KYRON was gave all the help for questions before and after the course. Would Highly recommend this any time!!! Thank you so much!!!
