Humber Helm Training
Humber Helm Training is a Royal Yachting Association (RYA) Recognised Training Centre based at Viking Marina in Goole, East Yorkshire. We provide professional, friendly and practical boat training in Goole for beginners, recreational boaters and those looking to develop their confidence and skills on the water. Situated on the sheltered waters of the Aire and Calder Navigation, our training centre provides an ideal location for learning boat handling, with access to the tidal River Ouse and Humber Estuary for the coastal element.
RYA Powerboat and VHF Marine Radio Courses
Our RYA courses include the popular RYA Powerboat Level 2 course, providing essential practical boat handling skills, and the RYA VHF Marine Radio SRC course, covering the safe and effective use of marine radio equipment.
Training is delivered by experienced RYA instructors, combining practical on-water instruction with shore-based learning in The Boathouse, our dedicated classroom overlooking Viking Marina.
Inland Waterways and Bespoke Boat Training
Alongside our RYA courses, Humber Helm Training offers practical narrowboat training, river cruiser training and bespoke boat handling tuition on customers' own boats.
Whether you're new to inland boating, returning after a break or looking to improve particular manoeuvres, we can tailor training to your experience and requirements. Our tuition can cover boat handling, locks, mooring, reversing and turning, helping you develop the skills and confidence to navigate inland waterways safely.
