The NXT Marine’s Commercial Powerboat Level 2 Package is ideal for both beginners and those with basic powerboating skills:

• Aspiring Professionals: Beginners who are interested in a career on the water, whether it is driving a superyacht, a commercial tour boat, or working in a search and rescue role, can benefit from foundational certifications

• Boating Enthusiasts: If you want to significantly enhance your knowledge and skills, you will learn to be prepared for anything and become a more knowledgeable boat operator.

What is the difference between the regular and commercial packages?

The commercial package by NXT Marine is slightly different from the regular RYA Level 2 course. While the regular course is meant for recreational and leisure purposes, the commercial package is designed for professional work on small commercial vessels.

Since the scope is narrow, the regular course takes only two days with no prior experience required, no commercial endorsement, and the certification only allows you to drive a small powerboat for leisure.

On the other hand, the commercial package includes the Powerboat Level 2 course plus essential shore-based courses that lead to a commercial endorsement with the RYA. With this certification, you can work professionally on vessels up to 24m, 32 kilometres from a safe haven.
