I've successfully completed YachtMaster Offshore theory and practical courses at The Seamanship Centre. Jonny was an excellent instructor, we achieved so much in a short space of time, making us well prepared for the assessments. The facility and staff were excellent. Big thanks to Jonny and Richard.

Completed my AEC1&2 at end of June. Great location and teaching facilities. We had James for both courses and he was very informative and engaging. I would highly recommend doing any courses here.

Just completed my Advanced Powerboat at the Seamanship Centre. I'm working towards a commercial licence for passenger boats, and this was a great step in the process. The trainer was excellent — loads of real-world experience from a life at sea, but also kept it engaging with the right amount of humour. They've got a brand new boat that looks like it’s barely been used. Overall, a top-notch place. Highly recommend.

Just completed the HELM course with Helen through the Seamanship Centre. Everything was smooth and professional from the booking through to the course itself and Helen was an excellent instructor. I'm doing the efficient deckhand course in November and I'm sure it will be run just as well. Would highly recommend doing any course with them

Excellently organised courses with very knowledgeable instructors. Any questions were answered in detail and I would highly recommend The Seamanship Centre!
I did the STCW week and Deck hand course. Having started with no knowledge of the industry, I felt the courses were highly informative and taught in a way that is easy to understand. Great coffee too!!
