🌊 MEET SPINDRIFT 🌊

Meet Spindrift — our customer’s own Explorer Elite 165, the boat we’re currently putting through her paces during their RYA Powerboat Level 2 training.

But where does the name come from?

Spindrift is the salt spray blown from the crests of breaking waves during a gale or strong wind. 🌬️🌊

We think it’s a pretty perfect name for a boat that’s going to spend plenty of time exploring the water!

At Powerboat Training UK, we’ve been delivering training for 25 years. And while experience counts for a lot, there’s one thing we’ve always believed:

Every day is a learning day.

Every boat is different.
Every skipper is different.
And every day on the water brings something new to learn.

That’s why training on a customer’s own boat is so valuable. It’s not just about learning the skills required to pass a course — it’s about building the knowledge, confidence and practical experience to safely and competently handle the boat you’ll actually be using.

And after 25 years, we’re still learning too. Because the water has a wonderful way of teaching you something new every time you head out. 🌊

Here’s to Spindrift, many miles ahead, plenty of learning and hopefully just the right amount of spray along the way! 🚤

25 years of experience. Every day is a learning day.

ONE SPACE NOW AVAILABLE - Poole w/c 14th Sept - Are you a commercial Skipper or a leisure user keen to operate at the highest level of radar and electronic navigation competence? If you are then you should be looking at our MCA Small Ships Navigation & Radar course. We run this course across both our Southampton and Poole bases and are now able (with approval from the MCA) to come and run the course at your home location. With our courses there was always a station per learner as we have always been of the view that doing so created the best learning experience and the best value for your investment. We’re delighted to see that the MCA shares this view and in their course update in July states a 1:1 ratio as a mandatory requirement. If you want to learn more about the course then checkout our website here where you can also watch our introductory video. https://www.powerboat-training-uk.co.uk/courses/mca-radar-ecs/

NOW FILLED!!!! - FREE BOATING! Weds 29th July - 1300 - 1630 from Cobbs Quay marina. We are running another of our RYA Powerboat Instructor courses and need 1x people with no experience to come afloat and be taught by the trainee instructors under the guidance of Instructor instructors! If interested please email [email protected] and I will message you - regards, Viv (Over 18s only and you’ll need to come dressed as if you were going out for a walk - we will provide all safety gear.) …and the message from Anne after attending after a previous such post proves how much fun it is …”I was the lucky person who got to play on a RIB for the afternoon. Although, I was a little anxious, I had a lovely time. Both the trainee instructors and the instructor instructor, were enthusiastic, friendly and determined to ensure that I loved being on the water as much as they did - and I did 🙂 Now, how much money do I need to find to buy a RIB? Wonderful experience - thank you!”

Date for the diary! Join us on Poole Quay next to the Lifeboat Station for the first Poole Harbour Work Boat Open Day. Come drive a remote control boat, check out the Police and Harbour Boats and have a look around Poole Lifeboat Station. We’ll be there to chat about careers and qualifications in the work boat industry too.

Lifeboats form the RNLI, Independent Lifeboat Services and Fire & Rescue Teams are launching again and again this summer to people who are getting into difficulty in our seas, rivers and lakes. Have you briefed your family members what to do if they get into difficulty? The ‘Float To Live‘ campaign is a real lifesaver. Hear Euans story and make sure you tell everyone you can - big small, old young, swimmers non-swimmers about the technique. DO YOUR BIT and maybe save a life! https://rnli.org/magazine/magazine-featured-list/2026/may/float-to-live-euan-gray?utm_source=LocalAmbassador&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=LocalAmbassador&utm_content=261688750-WaterSafety-LocalAmbassador-1707-Act2-hero&actId=~aeWvLtMeDzM3FtmnFuJNfLp8dHYLKpfc_SJuDZwPAbsusfBdXF8Y50I5a7vcSYmaFB909T--UOYKp6EqWtimndCMGwzyG8xsrDGNvMWv3W6X6-MPlIj_m5w%3D%3D&actCampaignType=CAMPAIGN_MAIL&actSource=516434
