Do You Need RYA PWC Course Onboard for Your Guests?
Did you know that operating a jet ski without a license in the Mediterranean creates serious liability and can significantly diminish your guests' experience? Beyond immediate fines and possible craft confiscation, it also puts individuals in serious danger if they lack the necessary handling skills. Having the proper license is now crucial for charter guests to freely enjoy the water. However, getting everyone legal and trained has frequently resulted in lost time, logistical challenges, and missed fun opportunities. This is where Seascope France's RYA PWC course is different.
The Law of the Sea: No Licence, No Jet Ski
In recent years coastguards have stepped up their enforcement throughout the Med. Authorities have been known to make surprise visits, inspect documentation, and request certification, whether you’re anchored off the coast of Sardinia or drifting close to the Greek islands. The guidelines are straightforward: no riding without a licence. This applies to everyone, from your guests seeking adventure on the water to those simply wanting to enjoy the yacht's amenities.

Seascope’s Onboard Jet Ski Course: Training That Comes to You
At Seascope France, we know that getting any of your guests certified often meant logistical headaches, lost time, and disruptions to your yacht's itinerary. We offer a distinct advantage: we bring the RYA Personal Watercraft Proficiency Course directly to your vessel.
Our certified instructors come to you, eliminating the need to send crew and guests ashore or contend with busy marina schedules. Your guests can complete the entire course in a single day, receiving an RYA PWC certificate that is widely recognised. This means no interruptions to your carefully planned itinerary, just efficient, effective training right where the PWCs are used.
Doing this course avoids lengthy wait times and improves comfort and privacy. Guests can enjoy a day of learning and fun without leaving the luxury of the yacht. Ultimately, Seascope’s mobile training ensures everyone on board becomes a confident, licenced rider, safe, legal, and ready to make the most of every moment on the water.
Who Can Take Part?
The jet ski course is open to anyone aged 16 and up, making it ideal for families, teens, and adults alike. It's also perfect for those who want to add a valuable qualification to their CVs or simply ensure they're always ready for action when guests want to make the most of the yacht's water toys.
What the Jetski Licence Test Covers
This course balances essential theory with hands-on practice, all designed to build real confidence. Participants learn:
- How to launch and recover a jet ski safely.
- General Manouvering.
- Essential safety procedures and local regulations.
- High-speed and low-speed handling.
- Emergency actions (such as capsize recovery) and best practices for protecting both people and equipment.
