Why Two Boats?
Our emergency procedures training is a practical, exciting, scenario-based course that prepares you for emergencies that can happen on board.
We use 2 boats and 2 instructors at a time to enable us to teach aspects that cannot be taught effectively with just one boat that most courses run with. This allows for realistic man overboard scenarios, towing procedures, and multi-vessel coordination that you'll encounter in real emergencies.
