Boatability is an RYA-recognised training centre based at Royal Clarence Marina, with direct access to Portsmouth Harbour and the Solent. It offers practical and shore-based training for beginners, leisure boaters and people developing professional maritime skills.

Courses include RYA Powerboat Levels 1 and 2, intermediate and advanced powerboat training, VHF radio, first aid, sea survival and International Certificate of Competence assessments. Boat hire, charters and training on a customer’s own boat are also available.

The fleet includes specialist powerboats intended to make time on the water possible for wheelchair users and people with other disabilities. Courses and charters need advance arrangements, so discuss experience, access requirements, dates and prices directly with Boatability before travelling.
