Although I was a bit traumatised by this course as I learnt stuff that was slightly scary, it was very well taught and I feel confidant I could now save someones life.  The woman who taught us was very mathodical easy to understand and I actually remember what she taught me.

Graham Gibson

This is the second course I've done with seagrqss marine  and again Dereck and Hanna were brilliant . Very knowledgeable on the subject and explains everything in a no nonsense no bullshit way .. Well done both of you . Thanks again 

Rhona Hastings

Such a convenient place to learn, right in the heart of Oban & a short walk to the marina. Derek & Hannah were very warm & welcoming & would certainly be happy to attend for my future training needs. 

Niall Campbell

Had a great couple of days learning new skills and updating old ones.  Instructor was very knowledgable with both practical tasks and learning on the water also her natural way of getting information across in the classroom kept this small amount of time enjoyable.   Great course, have recommended to family and friends already.

Jerome King 

I really enjoyed the course. Both Derek and Hannah were very welcoming and informative. I would highly recommend seagrass marine to anyone looking to get out on the water 

Douglas Rankin


What a fantastic course! 

I bought a powerboat a couple of years ago, launching it once. In hindsight, complete madness and the consequence if something went wrong could have been catastrophic. 
My family advised they would not go in the boat unless I was properly trained.

Roll on time -  my son and I signed up to do the PB2 course with Seagrass Marine in Oban. We both were transparent with Derek (instructor) that we had no previous experience and thus started with a blank mind. We had no previous knowledge of powerboats or understood how to navigate the sea safely.  

Derek, is a very knowledgeable seafarer with many years experience in the industry. Very helpful when providing real world examples. Derek provided the right balance of theoretical class work with on the sea practical teaching / instruction in the Firth of Lorn/ Oban Harbour/ Bay.  Derek ensured we combined both to be safe and how to competently skipper the boat, not limited too: understanding the boat, personal buoyancy, launching, rope work, creating passage plans, to navigate using charts, markers, boat handling at speed and in marinas, man overboard drills, using VHF comms to summon assistance, tidal, weather patterns et al. What a great course. 

Derek was open, patient experienced and I would highly recommend his training. We knew nothing when we arrived and left feeling confident that we could safely skipper our small boats. Thank you..

Ps. Hannah made some super sandwiches at lunch. Tea on tap with biccies too.  



Simon Marvin

It was a great course. There was plenty of hands-on experience on the water in different weather conditions, and it was wonderful to see Oban Harbour from such a different viewpoint. There was a nice balance of theory and practical work, and there were plenty of examples of good practices and what to avoid doing. I would definitely do another course with Seagrass and have recommended it to friends.

Ralph Christie

Having bought a small fishing boat and had very little boating experience, this course was ideal. It gives you classroom knowledge and practical skills that you can develop going forward. Derek and Hannah are fantastic. They are not only knowagable, but relaxed, fun and hospitable. This is my second course with Seagrass Marine and highly recommend them.

Clark Campbell

Iain Beggs

A great course and very well delivered. Powerboat Level II was a fantastic course to learn fundamentals of handling a boat, with Seagrass having the perfect resources and experience to teach it.

David Wight

Great powerboat Level 2 course. I learnt so much and it gave me confidence to be on the sea alone. I thoroughly recommend Seagrass’s course.

Paul Wilson

Excellent course, very well delivered by the instructor.  Very easy logistics, moving from the classroom to the rib was straightforward and the classroom itself was ideal for what we needed.  My only suggestion for improvement would have been to spend longer on safety limits / recommendations for people who have only just recently gained this qualification, things like what wind speeds should make you pause for thought, what actions can cause a rib to capsize.  We did cover this but I think it would have been useful to have spent more time looking at this area.  Overall, though, really excellent, thank you.

Cameron Roxburgh

Extremely  professional. 
From sailing  in the rib to  studies in the building , Derek  proved  his professionalism  and gave me more  confidence  .
Big thanks  Derek
