As Lead Coxswain of an independent rescue boat I wanted to ensure I was fully qualified for much more than I will ever need on the rivers. Having done Yachtmaster Theory with iPowerboat in November I booked in for the Advanced Powerboat course and exam with them. Tuition was great, as always, and the facilities are ideal, the boats are 50m from the well equipped classroom and next door to accommodation at the Ballachulish Hotel. Excellent as always.

Having been let down by my usual RYA school at the other side of the country who wouldn't put on the course I wanted at the dates they advertised as there wasn't enough interest I got in touch with Ryan at iPowerboat. My email was replied to immediately despite it being 2300 (11pm). Nothing was too much trouble and soon a course was arranged, together with a discounted rate at the Ballachulish Hotel, around 10 metres from iPowerboat!

Ryan's tuition was excellent, I was the only pupil, yet he charged me the same for my 1to1 tuition as if there had been a full course. The boat was well prepared and maintained and the centre has its own well equipped teaching room.

I was very impressed with the service and have arranged to go back for another course, despite it being an 800 mile round trip for me.

Ryan Tozer took my two grandsons (22 &15) for a 4 hour taster course. I accompanied them for one of the hours. Having talked to the boys later would confirm that the course, which was well organised, was a very useful introduction to RIB handling. Ryan also kept the boys interest by introducing wildlife and salmon farming into the experience. I would thoroughly recommend him as an instructor on powerboats.

An added attraction is the proximity of the Ballahulish Hotel where we had an excellent lunch after the course.

Took my 4 year old son on a rib ride, he loved it, especially seeing the seals on the burial islands and the salmon jumping around in the fish farms. The views are amazing from the loch!
