Chris is an Advanced Instructor and holds the RYA Yachtmaster Offshore Certificate of Competence, meaning he's commercially endorsed up to 200Gt and 150Nm from shore.
He's been driving powerboats since 1994 and brings a wealth of experience from the commercial marine and watersports world.
When he's not with us, Chris works as a freelance commercial skipper specialising in hydrographic survey work - and he's also an experienced kite surf instructor! 🪁

After so many years with Seawake, it's time to say a huge thank you and goodbye to Geoff 💙⚓
Since Covid alone, Geoff has clocked up over 5000 hours of training on the water - helping launch countless people on their boating journey, sharing his knowledge, and making friends for life along the way.
Geoff isn't going far though - he'll still be out on the water, just on his own boat. So if you're doing a course with us, keep your eyes on the Menai Strait... there's a good chance you'll spot him!
Thank you for everything, Geoff. You'll be missed, but we know the Strait hasn't seen the last of you 🌊

"The whole experience was great, a good combination of classroom learning and being out on the water." 💬 Just some of the lovely feedback from a recent PB2 student, who also gave a huge shoutout to instructor Chris - knowledgeable, patient, and full of boating stories from his years in the industry. Reviews like this are why we love what we do. Thank you for the kind words! 🚤

August on the water is hard to beat - warm days, calm evenings, and the kind of conditions that make learning to powerboat an absolute joy. If you've been putting off getting out on the water this summer, now's the time.
