Ipowerboat Description
iPowerboat is an RYA Training School based on the west coast of Scotland, surrounded by the towering mountains of Glencoe, we by far have the best location for running our courses. iPowerboat specialises in powerboat training and run recognised RYA courses for beginners to advanced level.
Our location provides the perfect environment for training, we have sheltered, secluded bays for practising, and improving your skills. Within a stones throw we can be in the Corran Narrows which can provide a more challenging environment for improving offshore skills.
"Anthem 2" is the main training vessel. It is a commercial Ribquest 6. 3m Rigid Inflatable Boat (RIB) custom built and designed specifically for training and handling challenging seas. Anthem 2 is powered by a 150hp Mariner Optimax outboard, which allows to comfortably cruise at 30 knots, and has a top speed of 50 knots. All the latest safety equipment is carried aboard, and life jackets are mandatory. There is a chart plotter fitted which allows you to learn traditional and 21st century navigation techniques.
When the Scottish weather turns for the worse, iPowerboat offers RYA Shorebased training. The three courses available are RYA Day Skipper, RYA Yachtmaster theory, and RYA VHF Shrort Range radio courses. Which provides you with the background knowledge of navigation and safety at sea.
All courses are based at our training centre, which is located directly under the Ballachulish Bridge. Old Ferry Courtyard, Ballachulish, Argyll. PH49 4JX

Some pretty cool clouds here today at iPowerboat HQ for our #RYA #PowerboatLevel2 course.
☁️🌦 Any guesses what they are?
We're having a great time out on Tiree running some powerboat level 2 courses for the Maritime Trust. 😁🚤
Launching everyday, and why build a slipway when you have these beaches! 🏖☀️

We're off to #Tiree to run some powerboat training for the islands Trust in conjunction with #RYAScotland over the next four days.
We've also got 12 students doing their #STCW Elementary #FirstAid over the next two days and a boat being delivered down the #CaledonianCanal too.

🏴 NEW BOAT 🏴
iPowerboat have been working hard over the winter season to bring you a state of the art training RIB.
"Tamo" is our #Redbay 7.4m that has been through a major refit and conversion to allow her to be powered by a 300hp #Mercury #Verado outboard. The refit included;
... ☑️Brand new polyurethane tubes ☑️Full re-wire, including heater & underwater lighting. ☑️Brand new #Simrad touchscreen plotter ☑️Latest #Icom VHF radio ☑️Simrad total side scan echo sounder ☑️Sim rad radar ☑️AIS ☑️Keel guard ☑️New #Bramber twin axle road trailer ☑️New cover, jockey seats and upholstery ☑️All brand new safety equipment
No corners have been cut, and only the best equipment available has been fitted. This boat has been designed and built by trainers for training in the harsh environment that is the west coast of Scotland, and we believe this makes it one of Scotland's best training RIBs 🚤.
Tamo will be at the #SpringBoatSalesWeekend at #InverkipMarina on the 27th & 28th April if you want to see her up close.
We owe a huge amount of thanks to all our friends/suppliers that allowed us to get this major rebuild/refit completed.
We've attached a few 📷photo's so you can compare it to before.
➡️➡️ Please do let us know what you think of her in the comments! ⬇️⬇️

Top guys, had a holiday up there and hired their boats. Will be doing it again.
Top class service, cannot wait for my PB2 course
Thank you, Ryan for all you support for my #LochNess swim. Could not have done it without you.
Thank you for all your advice & help with filming enquiries.
Ryan and his crew are excellent instructors would recommend them
Myself and another crew member from Dornoch Firth Lifeboat (ESRA) completed the RYA Powerboat 2 course in May 2018. Fun packed two days, mixture of theory and practical powerboating. Ryan is a great instructor and ensured we enjoyed ourselves !
Thanks, Antony
