Buy a Gift VoucherA kill cord (engine cut-off switch lanyard) is the single most important safety device on a powerboat. If the helm operator falls overboard, the lanyard pulls free — cutting the engine instantly and preventing a propeller strike.
RYA rule: It must be worn at all times when the engine is running. We teach correct kill cord use from the very first moment you step aboard.

Don't just take our word for it — here's what the people who've trained with us have to say.
"Absolutely brilliant course. The instructor made everything so clear and the practical sessions on the water were incredible. Got my Powerboat Level 2 in two days — couldn't recommend more."
"Did the Jet Ski licence here and had the time of my life. Professional, safe, and genuinely fun. The views of the Costa Blanca from the water are something else entirely."
"Completed the VHF Radio course online. The platform was excellent — detailed, well structured, and I passed first time with full confidence. Great value."
