I did the RYA Powerboat L2 course with Quality Time Training in August '20. The instructor, Clare, was excellent, and presented the course very well. Clare is a very experienced yachtswoman, skipper and instructor, and a really nice person to learn from. The equipment was all top quality, in great condition and well maintained. This is company that clearly takes pride in being as good as their name suggests. 5️ in every respect. Additionally during the covid era physical distancing in a 5m RIB is very difficult to achieve however every sensible precaution was taken to maintain the best safe hygiene environment that was practical and possible. One last thing: bottle nose dolphins
