Own Boat Tuition

Venture on from the dock with new navigation and seamanship skills! 

Our one day 'Own Boat Tuition' is perfect for beginners wanting to learn basic skills or experienced skippers who want to further develop their confidence and skills on the iconic River Thames.

We aim to teach you how to navigate your own boat safely, with advanced knowledge on how to manage tides, traffic movements and locks, as well as a wide range of seamanship skills necessary before you venture on from the dock alone.
