Where to Attend…
Our clubhouse is the first building on the West Pier. You can't miss us once you get close; we’re a white building with our name displayed in large lettering. Landmarks close-by include The Purty Kitchen Seafood Restaurant and the West Pier Filling Station.
We are well served by public transport; the nearest DART Station is Salthill & Monkstown. Bus numbers 7, 7A, 45A, 46A, 59, 746, 111, 63 and 75 all serve Dun Laoghaire and are a few minutes’ walk from the clubhouse.

Powerboat Licenses Explained…
Many course participants are undertaking this programme to enable them to apply for an International Certificate of Competency. This effectively is the powerboating equivalent of an international driving license. We’ve prepared a short guide to powerboat licences here.
Further courses to think about…
An additional qualification that would complement the ICC is the VHF License. Our programme is the Irish Department of Marine course, which would also be useful for powerboat graduates looking to get their own boat in the future.
Please note that by taking a booking with us, you agree to our terms and conditions which can be viewed here. Our cancellation policy for this course can be viewed here.
