The International certificate of Competence, ICC is required by most European countries as evidence of a basic level of knowledge.

The ICC can be obtained through the relevant RYA qualifications or through an ICC test.

You can obtain the ICC through us by undertaking the RYA Powerboat Level 2 course. Passing this course allows you to apply for the ICC with a 10m restriction.

Or you can undertake an ICC assessment with us. You will need to display a level of competence across a variety of areas at a level comparable to the standards reached on a Powerboat Level 2 course.

Please get in touch to discuss your requirements, the type of boat you have and relevant experience. We are then better placed to advise.

If you want to obtain your ICC for a boat over 10m then please get in touch to discuss.

The ICC Assessment

Our ICC package is a full day and will include the assessment. This will give you plenty of time to practise and brush up on some skills.

Tests can be completed on our boat or on your own boat.

The ICC is valid for 5 years and can be renewed without completing further tests, but by declaring your time out on the water.

We will provide you with an ICC form that you will need to complete when you arrive.
You will need to bring 2 passport photos with you.

  DOLPHINS AND SEALS !! An unforgettable Trip - We had the most amazing evening safari boat trip with Torquay Water Sports, and honestly, it was incredible from start to finish!

The whole experience was fantastic, from the... read more lovely team when we arrived to being out on the water taking in the absolutely beautiful views across Torquay Bay. But the highlight and something I still can’t quite believe happened  was seeing dolphins! 🐬✨ I have never seen dolphins before, so to experience that during our trip was genuinely unforgettable and made the evening even more special.

A huge thank you to our skipper, Rose, and our crew mate, Daisy. These two were absolutely brilliant. They were incredibly professional and made us feel completely safe and looked after, but at the same time they were so warm, welcoming, bubbly and genuinely lovely.

Rose and Daisy were such a great duo they bounced off each other so naturally and brought such a fun atmosphere to the trip. We spent most of the evening belly laughing with them, and they somehow managed to make the whole experience feel like we were out enjoying the evening with friends, while still being incredibly professional and knowledgeable.

And then they spotted the dolphins! 🐬 The fact that these two were able to make such an incredible moment happen for us is something we’ll remember for a very long time. And even had an enough time to see Neil the seal !!

I honestly feel so grateful that we booked this trip. It was one of the absolute highlights of our holiday in Devon, and I couldn’t recommend Torquay Water Sports enough. If you’re visiting Torquay, do this trip! The views, the experience, the team and, of course, the dolphins made it absolutely unforgettable.

Thank you so much, Rose and Daisy, for making our evening so special. You were amazing, and we’re so glad we got to experience it with you both! 🐬❤️

10/10 from start to finish an experience we’ll never forget!
