It’s common for boat owners to feel their skills could be sharper, whether it’s after a period away from the helm, after upgrading to a new vessel, or simply wanting to master a specific maneuver. Our private tuition is designed to address this need with complete discretion, helping you bridge any gaps in confidence and turn uncertainty into assured command.

A Programme Tailored to Your Vessel

Our process is entirely specific to your boat and your needs. We focus on optimising your complete setup, from the unique handling characteristics of your hull and engines to the specific configuration of your electronics and mooring lines.

Together, we will collaboratively refine key operational procedures, including:

Developing seamless mooring and docking routines.
Reinforcing safe navigational practices for your area.
Practicing essential emergency drills, such as man overboard.
Defining clear and effective roles for your crew.

The objective is to ensure that both skipper and crew operate with practiced ease, making every trip a safe and enjoyable experience for all aboard.

Nationwide Availability

Our instructors are available for private on-board training at our primary locations on Lough Ree, Lough Derg, Lough Erne, Lough Corrib, and the Shannon Navigation (Carrick-on-Shannon).

Furthermore, we offer a nationwide service and can arrange for tuition on any inland or coastal waterway throughout Ireland by appointment.
