Motorboat Skill-Building at The Boat School Denia

2-day ICC 24 metres

This two-day extension is available to students who have recently completed the full two-day RYA Powerboat Level 2 course with The Boat School. It builds on the skills acquired during that course and provides further experience in coastal navigation, night cruising, and preparation for the ICC assessment.

If you meet the RYA/MCA eligibility criteria, you can take the exam for the International Certificate for Operators of Pleasure Craft (ICC) for power-driven vessels up to 24 metres in length at the end of the second day.

If you haven’t completed the RYA Powerboat Level 2 with The Boat School, we recommend that you choose course dates for this ICC course that combine with the RYA PB2 to provide greatest continuity. If you need help with the booking, don’t hesitate to contact us by phone or WhatsApp on 639 202 297.
