Plas Menai

“I have just completed a ‘Competent Crew’ course on Menai IV under the instruction of skipper Mike. I would just like to say that despite being hard work, I thoroughly enjoyed the training, and working together with the other guys on board as a ‘crew’. Food was excellent, although I think the ‘chefs’ that prepare the meals need to spend a bit of time onboard to see the limitations that we have. Mike was an excellent instructor, who did not hold your hand, making you think about your actions, but was there to suggest improvements, which was the main reason for being there. The only issue that I had was that the electrics were not fully functional before we left, which meant that lighting was down to battery powered lights. This should have been sorted beforehand. All in all, I thoroughly recommend this course, and would like to thank Mike and the rest of the guys for a memorable experience.”

“We had a fantastic time. We booked to do stand up paddleboarding, as novices. The instructor Milly was great. She explained everything, checked understanding and flexed as needed to accommodate wind and tide as well as skill levels. She was informative about the sport, the area, wildlife etc, was friendly, kept us safe and made the whole experience fun. Heads up to her especially and Oli and Mo. Thank you so much for this experience. Would definitely recommend this centre and the instructors”

“Did the powerboat level 2 course with Louie. Great instructor and so much hands on. Booked last minute and had a 1 on 1 course over 2 days. Got to drive 3 different boats up to 80hp which was great fun. Learnt so much and great value for money. Did some towing with Tom too who was also brilliant and very thorough.”
