Evening Mark

Just wanted to say how much we all appreciated your efforts on our behalf. Over the years I have had the privilege of spending time under instruction on the water from some of the finest - you are up there with those guys.

A great course, professionally delivered with a very supportive and developmental teaching style. Most rewarding was the way you allowed folk the freedom to come up with their own plan on how to resolve a particular issue, with just the lightest of touches on the 'tiller', making sure we did so safely and with confidence - a rare talent.

Thank you for your efforts much appreciated.

The course was very enjoyable and interesting and provided great value for money! The instructor and assessor were friendly, engaging, and helpful.

Most of my members came to the course with limited experience in radio and they all came away feeling much more confident and with a new skill to use. A great day was had by all! Very many thanks to the team!

We can highly recommend Phoenix Sea School. My wife and I recently retired and have decided to buy a motor boat.

Having recently visited the RYA stand at the International Boat Show, we were introduced to all the courses and the road map for gaining further qualifications. We were made aware that there was a RYA training at Littlehampton through Phoenix Sea School.

We visited Littlehampton Marina and were introduced to Mark, who runs Phoenix Sea School.

When we met Mark we immediately knew that he had the natural ability to instruct. My wife and I felt at complete ease, even though we had no experience whatsoever in handling a boat. We were apprehensive in our abilities, but under Mark’s tuition and guidance we soon progressed with confidence.

We highly recommend Mark and look forward to progressing through the RYA training programs with Phoenix Sea School.

I had no powerboat experience prior to doing this course (PB2) but Mark was absolutely brilliant. He made me feel totally at ease, talked me through the whole process from A-B. He was very patient and calm yet encouraged me to push my boundaries - meaning I achieve things I wouldn’t have otherwise had the confidence to do.

He is very respectful of the waters, has a good relationship with everyone at the yard, maintains his boat / equipment beautifully and was really organised.

I absolutely loved this course, I couldn’t fault it and would highly recommend it - I couldn’t have asked for a better teacher

Thank you Mark
