Powerboating Activites - Cardigan Bay Watersports

Powerboating

We run regular courses out of New Quay, with the most popular being the two-day RYA Powerboating Level 2 course, which will set you up to be a confident and safe powerboat handler.

If you want a fun trip around the Bay, a one-hour taster session is ideal. You will have some time at the helm, and the instructor will run through the basics of one of our Highfield RIBs (Rigid Inflatable Boat).

And for those who are more experienced, we offer passage-planning, safety boating and night trips to improve your skills.
