OWN BOAT TUITION
Do you already have a boat?
We are BIG on providing Own Boat Tuition aboard your vessel, whether that’s Sail, Power, Motor, Speedboat or PWC, so get ready for the season.
Trust in our professional assistance to help you get the most out of your experience on the water.
First of all, getting on and off your berth can be tricky, especially in windy conditions. Let us help you learn the techniques expected at Yachtmaster Level, plus a few time proven methods you may not find in a book!
LOCK STOCK & BARREL
Well maybe just the lock then. At Chatham Maritime Marina we are lucky to have a lock. This is an ideal opportunity in mastering the procedure you may have to use when boating outside of our area. Learn the set-up, approach, entrance and exit in a controlled professional manner. You will also have the opportunity to see international port traffic signal (I.P.T.S.) first hand
TIDE WAITS FOR NO ONE
Ferry gliding forwards and why not backwards, just one technique to master. The tide is often the strongest force acting on the boat. If you know how to use that force to your advantage your procedures such as mooring on to a buoy, berthing in a current, entering a lock, anchoring etc all become so much easier, stress free yay!


SAVE A TON OF FUEL
If you have a motorboat, speed boat or powerboat it is essential that the craft propels itself through the water in the most efficient way possible. You will potentially save a huge amount of fuel over just one season. Let us show you how to trim the boat to its most economical fast position.
INDIVIDUAL FOR YOU
With our tailored approach, instruction can be anything from a few hours up to full days and even longer trips should you require an assisted journey with one of our qualified skippers.
We’ll help you gain confidence for all of your fantastic adventures to come
