Hey, I’m Sam Purcell, the WWS Powerboat Instructor! I’ve always been drawn to the water and have spent years messing about on boats.
I first did my Powerboat Level 2 with WWS in 2021, and that was just the beginning. During Transition Year, I kept building my experience with WWS, which eventually led me to take my Powerboat Instructor course. That involved marine-based first aid, a VHF marine radio certificate, and a pre-entry assessment—lots of learning, but totally worth it!
What I love most is getting people out on the water and showing them just how much fun powerboating can be—while making sure they’re doing it safely. The Powerboat courses are ideal for anyone looking to improve their skills, buy a boat or just have a brilliant weekend on the water while learning how to handle a boat with confidence!
