					  Hi,



My daughter and I have just concluded our 2 day RYA Powerboat level 2 course with Barcelona Watersports. We had Faith as our instructor. Was a Fab experience,... read more she is obviously very skilled and knowledgable and was able to share of her wisdom in a fun and enlightening way. The RIB was great as well, with a Powerful 300 hp engine. Was windy and choppy, but that made the experience that much more realistic. Top marks all around. Great blend of theory and practice. Would 100% recommend. In fact, will try to encourage my wife and son to do the course as well!
