About Us

Who are we?
Boatability was started by a group of ex Special Forces personnel. Highly trained by the navy in high and low speed boat handling the skills were adapated to train the leisure boater to a level that exceeds most of the qualifications taught.

Our team now is wide ranging with many experienced Advanced level Powerboat instructors. We offer the best training environment and facilities we know of in the UK and we regularly get 100% appraisals from our students and customers.

Instructors Wanted

Boatability is expanding. We are looking for additional qualified instructors to work on a freelance basis to join our busy team. If you are qualified to instruct to RYA Powerboat level 2 or above please contact us with your details.

We have one or two positions available for apprentices too but the competition for these places is high but do get in an application if you are keen to develop a career in the marine industry.

Our extensively equipped Port Solent Lock office and Camber Dock classroom training locations are the envy of the industry.

With a range of boats available for charter or hire, which can also be bareboat (i.e. on some powerboats on your own if appropriately qualified) or skippered; the choice is yours. The boats range from luxury cruisers, extremely fast ribs, yachts, through to specialist powerboats for those who require disabled easy access; This includes wheelchair users and for people with other kinds of disability.

If you have the urge to go out on to the water, but for whatever reason do not have access to a powerboat, appropriate powerboat training, or the appropriate facilities, Boatability's powerboat training courses hold the answers for you.
