Welcome to Nick Fletcher - Motorcruiser & Powerboat Instruction in Cornwall

Handling a powerboat or motor cruiser competently and safely is not a "black art" and can be taught in a friendly and constructive way. The result is that the skipper starts to feel more confident - and may be less shouting at the crew - and generally have a fuller and more enjoyable use from their boat.

We are based near Mylor Marina, Falmouth, and are able to offer own boat tuition both in the Falmouth area and elsewhere in Cornwall and west Devon by arrangement on board your own boat.

What type of powerboat and motor instruction do we offer?

The Royal Yachting Association (RYA) offer, through their Sea Schools, an excellent range of set-curriculum shore-based theory and also practical courses afloat, primarily on RYA Sea School boats, and we strongly encourage motor cruiser owners to consider enrolling on courses to suit their level of experience.

The service we offer is in addition to RYA courses rather than being a substitute. So, how are we different?

We provide tailor-made personal tuition to cover whatever help or training you may need on board your boat. Often this includes owners new to motor cruising whilst other owners may want to practice and consolidate new skills learnt on an RYA course, but on their own boat. On the other hand, some owners decide they would rather have individual tuition on their own boat tailor-made to suit their needs.
