Welcome to Saltwater Experience – dedicated to all things powerboating.

We want powerboat owners to get the best out of powerboating. To feel confident enough to explore new horizons and be safe. So whatever service you choose from us, we only use the best – the powerboats we use for instruction and adventures are Arctic Blues. All clothing and equipment we personally test and adopt ourselves on our RYA training courses before offering it on the site. On brokerage, our specialists really know and understand RIBs and sports boats as RYA powerboat instructors and advisors.

Our bespoke and RYA powerboat courses cover everything from close quarters manoeuvering in harbours and marinas, through high speed handling in both rough and flat waters to off-shore navigation and journey planning techniques. Whatever your experience, Our RYA powerboat courses can help you reach the next level, enabling you to get the most from your boat enjoyably and safely.

Our on shore RYA powerboat onshore training site is complete with state of the art presentation systems and a relaxation area for tea and coffee. Our RYA VHF courses uses the latest radios found in powerboats from several key manufacturers and our RYA Powerboat diesel maintenance courses provide hands on experience in the classroom and in the boatyard with real installations.

Every year we set up a Powerboat Big Adventure. These are designed to allow powerboaters and would be powerboaters to experience what it is like to plan and make longer journeys by sea, equiping them to get more from their own boats. This year we are travelling from Christchurch in Dorset along the west coast and across to the Isles of Scilly.

For those that cannot afford the time for the Big Adventure, we offer bespoke ‘experience days’ designed to build on the RYA powerboat training and to meet the requirements of our customers. This gives groups of three or four people the chance to develop their seamanship skills aboard one of our 7.2m or 9.0m Arctic Blue RIB’s.
