About Me

I run Trent Boat Handling, which is registered with the RYA as Afloat Training. My base is at Colwick Marina, on the River Trent, but also operate anywhere within the East Midlands and farther afield if required.

Philosophy

1. You do not share with strangers on our courses
2. Lone females if they so wish may bring a chaperone at no extra cost
3. We believe in thorough, stressfree, high quality training
4. We operate all year round
5. Our teaching style is praised by our clients. We want you to enjoy our training, so we do not rush through a syllabus to get to the end. We concentrate on what is best for each of our clients. Your courses are bespoke.
6. Yes some of our courses are more expensive than other companies, but with you not sharing with others you do recieve more practice and knowledge. In fact we offer better value for your money.

We never cancel courses because of low numbers
