Devon Powerboating is an RYA registered training facility based at Yacht Haven Quay in Plymouth. Within the organisation there are 4 subsidiaries - Devon Powerboat Training that delivers first class RYA powerboat training courses and bespoke packages tailored to your needs; Devon RIB Rides and the recently acquired South West RIB Rides that offer high speed rides around Plymouth Sound, and Devon RIB Charter, offering opportunities to hire a powerful RIB complete with a highly experienced skipper for diving, and events such as birthday parties (young and old), corporate or private parties.
As would be expected in such an important discipline, all voyages are conducted to the most exacting standards of safety and competence using the latest boat and equipment and highly trained RYA qualified skippers to ensure maximum enjoyment of the passengers. Everyone working in the team has a keen interest in ensuring that clients enjoy the exhilaration gained by experiencing the thrills of a powerful boat being driven at high speed by a very capable boat handler. Land lubber or old seadog, my aim is to ensure that you enjoy every moment of your time with us.
