Zack was excellent. Great combo of technical instruction and practical knowledge of West Cork waters including where to get homemade ice cream on Heir Island! Peter
By far the most enjoyable and interesting course I have completed. Zach combines a wealth of knowledge and practical experience with common sense on the water. This course has boosted my ability and confidence around power boosts. Thanks Zach!
I just finished the two-day powerboat course with Powerboat Cork and it was absolutely brilliant! Zach is a fantastic instructor – super knowledgeable and makes the whole experience really enjoyable. The course is a great mix of theory and hands-on practice, and I came away feeling much more confident on the water. It’s also great value for money. Highly recommend it to anyone wanting to learn how to operate a powerboat!
