About Martyn

I am an RYA Powerboat Instructor based in Kent and available to provide freelance instructional support to RYA recognised training centres, clubs and commercial operators.

My background includes service in the Royal Navy as a Marine Engineer, followed by over 25 years in operational policing. Throughout that time I have developed extensive experience in safety management, risk assessment, incident response, training and operational leadership.

I am available to support training centres with Powerboat Level 1 and Powerboat Level 2 instruction, instructor cover, additional course capacity, seasonal demand and short-notice availability.

Based in North Kent, I am willing to travel throughout Kent, the Solent and the South East by arrangement. Recent instructional delivery has included RYA Powerboat Level 2 training with Andrew Simpson Yachting from Haslar Marina and Powerboat Level 2 planing and displacement training at HMS Raleigh during the Southern Area Summer Camp.

Student Feedback

"Martyn provided fantastic training on the Solent, I had never driven a boat before but Martyn was an excellent instructor, knowledgeable and patient, ensuring we all understood the key concepts. Highly recommended!"

Sarah Smith

"Martyn delivers in an engaging and fun way which really gets the information across. It was so much fun that I didn't realise i was learning so much."
